THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.300 of 2004 ORDER: The petitioners were employed as Servers on NMR basis in the Educational Institutions run by Sri Tirumala Tirupathi Devastham, the second respondent. There was some uncertainty as to the scale of pay in which the petitioners were put. Doubt arose as to whether they can be treated on par with the Servers working in the Canteen and other institutions of the Devasthanam. The second respondent issued proceedings, dated 20.10.2003, fixing the pay scales of the petitioners, namely, 780-1275 in 1986, 1475-2675 in 1993 and 2750-5150 in 1999. The petitioners state that the pay scales for the Servers in the other establishments of the Devasthanam are higher and absolutely there is no justification for putting them in lower pay sales. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioners and the learned standing counsel for the second respondent. The pay scale in the year 1986 for Servers in other establishments of the Devasthanam is 810-1420. However, the petitioners were put in the scale of 780-1275. The necessity to deal with the legality of the impugned proceedings is obviated on account of the fact that during the pendency of the writ petition, the Devasthanam issued proceedings dated 12.06.2005 extending the pay scale of 810-1420, the revised scale of which is 2990-5810, to the petitioners, with effect from 01.04.2005. With this, the grievance of the petitioners stands redressed. It is brought to the notice of this Court that one of the petitioners died, another retired and only one of them is in service. Though an application seeking amendment to the writ petition is filed to ventilate further grievance, this Court is not inclined to permit the same since the matter is of general importance. If any grievance exists in this regard, the same needs to be taken to the notice of the second respondent. It is only when the grievance still subsists that further proceedings be initiated. Hence, the Writ Petition is dismissed as infructuous. There shall be no order as to costs. _______________________ L.NARASIMHA REDDY, J 09th September, 2010 GHN
