APPELLANT AND The Executive Officer Tirumala Tirupathi Devasthanams Tirupathi-517 501, Chittoor District, A.P., .....RESPONDENT Counsel for the Appellant : MR.PRATTIPATI VENKATESWARLU Counsel for the Respondent: MR.S.VENKATESWARA RAO, STANDING COUNSEL FOR TTD. The Court made the following JUDGMENT: (per TMK,J) The Writ Appeal is filed by the appellant-writ petitioner against the order, dated 12.4.1999, in Writ Petition No.15509 of 1998, passed by a learned single Judge of this Court. For the sake of convenience, the parties are referred to as they are arrayed in the writ petition. We have perused the record and the order impugned. The grievance of the petitioner in the writ petition is as regards his promotion to the post of Assistant Professor from 3.10.1990 instead of 22.6.1994. Learned single Judge after taking into consideration the averments made in the counter-affidavit has held that such a relief cannot be granted. Having regard to the fact that the promotion to public posts are governed by the Rules and Regulations governing such promotion, petitioner cannot insist upon his promotion in violation of the Rules. In view of the assertion of the respondent in the counter that the promotion of the petitioner has been made duly following the Rules, we see no ground to interfere with the order under appeal. Therefore, the Writ Appeal fails and shall accordingly stand dismissed. (T.MEENA KUMARI, J) DT: 22.02.2005 (S.ANANDA REDDY, J) bsv/lvl To 1.
