THE HON’BLE SRI BILAL NAZKI, THE ACTING CHIEF JUSTICE AND THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE R.SUBHASH REDDY WRIT PETITION No.18423 OF 1994 19th October 2005 Between: J.Devarajulu Naidu ….Petitioners. AND The State of Andhra Pradesh, rep. by its Secretary, Forest Department, Secretariat, Hyderabad & others. …Respondents. ORAL ORDER: (per Hon’ble Sri Bilal Nazki, the Acting Chief Justice) The writ petition was filed in the year 1994 by an Advocate in public interest. He was aggrieved by the action of the respondents in paying Rs.300/- to Rs.400/- per month to workers engaged by them though they were entitled to minimum wages. More than ten years have passed since this writ petition was filed. So, on the last occasion, we directed the learned Govt. Pleader to inform this Court as to how much is being paid to the workers engaged by the Forest Department at present on casual basis. He informed the Court that at present Rs.1996/- is being paid in accordance with the Forest schedule rates. In this view of the matter, we do not think, any orders are required to be passed now. The writ petition is accordingly disposed of. ______________________ (BILAL NAZKI, ACJ) 19th October 2005. _______________________ (R.SUBHASH REDDY, J.) ARS
