THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE N.V. RAMANA Writ Petition No. 6623 of 2007 Dated: 03.04.2007 Between: M. Appala Konda. ..... PETITIONER AND The Govt. of A.P., rep. by its Principal Secretary of Higher Education, Secretariat, Hyderabad and others. .....RESPONDENTS THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE N.V. RAMANA Writ Petition No. 6623 of 2007 Order: Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader for Education. The petitioner claims that he was initially appointed as Games Marker in the 4th respondent-College in the year 1986 on consolidated pay of Rs.200/- per month. Later on, the management of the 4th respondent-College, in its meeting held on 07.01.1994, considered his case and promoted him as Attender in the existing vacancy. Subsequently, the management of the 4th respondent-College, addressed a letter dated 28.04.1994, requesting the Director of Intermediate Education, Hyderabad, to ratify the said appointment of the petitioner in the post of Attender and for admission of the same into grant-in-aid, which is pending consideration. The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that though the petitioner has been working as Attender, the respondents are not paying him salary attached to the said post. On the other hand, the learned Government Pleader for Education submitted that inasmuch as the promotion of the petitioner as Attender was not made in accordance with the procedure contemplated under law and is irregular, the salary attached to the said post is not being paid. Since the letter, dated 28.04.1994, addressed by the management of the 4th respondent-College, requesting to ratify the promotion of the petitioner in the post of Attender and admission of the said post into grant-in-aid, is said to be pending consideration before the Director of Intermediate Education, without going into the question whether the petitioner is entitled to the pay attached to the post of Attender, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the writ petition with the following directions: The Director of Intermediate Education, Hyderabad, is directed to consider and dispose of the letter dated 28.04.2006, said to have been addressed by the management of the 4th respondent-College, requesting to ratify the appointment of the petitioner in the post of Attender and admission of the said post into grant-in-aid, and pass appropriate orders thereon in accordance with law, expeditiously. Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of. No costs. ___________________ N.V. RAMANA, J. Date: 03.04.2007 Nsr
