IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE, ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD (Special Original Jurisdiction) PRESENT THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE SANJAY KUMAR W.P.NOS.17560 OF 2001 AND 17583 OF 2001 Date:02-12-2010 W.P.No.17560 of 2001:- Between:- B.Saidulu and others .. Petitioners And Andhra Bank and others .. Respondents And W.P.No.17583 of 2001:- Between:- D.C.Srinivasulu .. Petitioner And Andhra Bank and others .. Respondents COMMON ORDER:- The petitioners in these two cases challenge the action of the Andhra Bank in not absorbing them in the cadre of subordinate staff and seek a direction to the respondent bank to do so with all consequential benefits. The issue is squarely covered by the common order dated 27-12-2007 passed by a learned Judge of this Court in W.P.Nos.20764 and 22061 of 2000. A copy of the said order is placed before this Court and demonstrates that taking note of the settlement arrived at under Section 12(3) of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947, by and between the Andhra Bank and its Employees Union, various schemes were spelt out for absorption of temporary candidates such as the petitioners. The learned Judge also recorded the bank’s stand that rotation methodology would be adopted to ensure equitable opportunity to all the empanelled sub staff. In such circumstances, the learned Judge was of the opinion that there was no basis for the apprehension that these temporary employees would not be absorbed in terms of the settlement dated 09-01-1995 or that they would be disengaged from service. The writ petitions were accordingly disposed of recording the stand of the Andhra Bank in its counter affidavit. For reasons alike, these two writ petitions are disposed of in terms of the order dated 27-12-2007 in the aforesaid writ petitions. The petitioners would therefore have to await their absorption in service as per the settlement dated 09-01-1995. Needless to state, they would be entitled to be continued in service in the interregnum as per the rotation methodology adopted by the bank. The writ petitions are accordingly disposed of. There shall be no order as to costs. _________________ SANJAY KUMAR, J 2nd December 2010. AMD
