THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY WRIT PETITION NO.26559 OF 1995 DATED: 26.9.2006 BETWEEN: Punuguntla Lakshmaiah … Petitioner. And The Collector/Chairman, SETNEL, Nellore. And others. … Respondents. THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY WRIT PETITION NO.26559 OF 1995 ORDER: For petitioner none. For respondents K.Ramanuja Chary. In this writ petition the petitioner sought for relief of regularization of the services as per STEP Employees Service Rules and for payment of full salary, i.e., Rs.1375-2375 and allowances. The learned counsel for the respondents has submitted that batch of writ petitions namely W.P.No.12272 of 1992 and Batch was disposed of by a Division Bench of this Court on 16.7.1997 wherein certain directions have been given. As regards regularization the Division Bench observed that since the Government is seized of the matter and the societies who were respondents therein will have to consider the question of regularization of all or some of the petitioners therein having due regard to the sanctioned posts, work available and the service rules. The Bench further observed that in view of the fact that the petitioners therein were getting salary equivalent to 100% pay scales, the question of regularization is somewhat academic at the “ present juncture” and it is not necessary for the Court to give any specific directions in that regard. With respect to payment of full scales, the operative portion of the order of the Bench is extracted hereunder: “ We, therefore, direct that the representations submitted by the petitioners who have not got the benefit of full pay- scales shall be expeditiously and without avoidable delay examined by the respondents concerned and steps be taken to extend the pay benefits due to them, so as to avoid discrimination between similarly situated person, subject of course to further review in the light of ultimate decision to be taken by the State Government.” The learned counsel for the respondents fairly states that SETNEL in which the petitioner is working is an organization being run under the control of APSTEP, which was a party to the batch of writ petitions disposed of by the Division Bench, as earlier mentioned, and that the said judgment applies to the case of the petitioner as well. Recording this submission of the learned counsel, the writ petition is disposed of in terms of judgment dated 16.7.1997 in W.P.No.12272 of 1992 and Batch. ___________ 26.9.2006. mdaa
