HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.26852 of 1997 Dated:31.01.2007 Between: G. Bugga Rao and others. …Petitioners. and Government of Andhra Pradesh. and others. …Respondents HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.26852 of 1997 ORDER: The petitioners were employed under various categories, in the Victoria Memorial Home and Industrial School, Saroornagar, Hyderabad. It was basically imparting school education and industrial training. The institution was admitted to Grant-in-aid, as regards certain posts. The petitioners state that all of them are holding the posts that were admitted to Grant-in-aid. In the year 1994, the Government received proposals for conversion of the said institution into a residential school, to impart education and training to 900 orphan children. In addition to the conventional education, proposals are mooted for giving vocational training also. This naturally needed the change in composition and functioning of the institution. As many as 10 posts of vocational instructors, were sanctioned. A Comprehensive order in the form of G.O.Ms.No.124, dated 28.07.1994, was issued to that effect. The grievance of the petitioners is that their salaries, which hitherto were being deposited into their accounts by the District Educational Oﬃcer, are sought to be made over to the Social Welfare Department for disbursement thereafter. According to them, such a course would delay and sometimes deny the payment of salaries. On behalf of respondents, counter-aﬃdavit is ﬁled narrating the circumstances that led to change of the pattern of the institution. It is stated that continuance of service of the petitioners or the pattern of payment of salaries, is not changed in any manner. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioners and the learned Government Pleader for Social Welfare. An institution, which was admitted to Grant-in-aid and in which the petitioners were employed, was revamped to undertake a comprehensive activity of teaching and training. This naturally resulted in change of staﬃng pattern also. The petitioners could have any grievance, if only their posts were discontinued. Neither from the G.O., nor from the counter-aﬃdavit, it is evident that the posts held by the petitioners are touched in any manner. The grievance of the petitioners that the mode of payment of their salaries changed, stands redressed with the submission made on behalf of the respondents that the same pattern that existed before issuance of the G.O., in the matter of payment of salaries to the petitioners, is continued. Therefore, the Writ Petition is disposed of, directing the respondents to continue the same pattern of payment of salaries to the petitioners that existed before the issuance of G.O., dated 28.07.1994. There shall be no order as to costs. ____________________ Dt.31.01.2007 L.NARASIMHA REDDY, J GJ
