THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE RAMESH RANGANATHAN W.P.NO.9862 OF 1995 Date: 28.03.2006 Between: K.T. Lakhanna. … Petitioner and 1. Rajiv Gandhi Technology Mission for Rural Poor, Project Officer, Samachar Bhavan, A.C. Guards, Hyderabad and two others. … Respondents. THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE RAMESH RANGANATHAN W.P.NO.9862 OF 1995 ORDER: This writ petition is filed questioning the action of the respondents in terminating the services of the petitioner, vide proceedings dated 18.04.1995, without providing any alternative employment, as arbitrary and illegal. 2. Petitioner, an Ex-Serviceman was initially appointed in A.P. Scooters Limited and in view of the said company becoming sick, he was appointed as a Driver in the 1st respondent Corporation vide proceedings dated 21.02.1994. The 1st respondent, passed a resolution dated 18.04.1995, dissolving the organization. It is now contended that while several employees in the A.P. Scooters Limited, were absorbed in the A.P. State Council for Science and Technology, the petitioner herein, on the mere chance of his being appointed in the 1st respondent corporation, had been denied alternative employment. The fact remains that the Rajiv Gandhi Technology Mission for Rural Poor was dissolved with effect from 18.04.1995. If the organization itself is dissolved, the question of continuing the petitioner does not arise. Insofar as the petitioner’s request for alternative employment is concerned, it is a matter for the 3rd respondent, in its wisdom, to decide and no mandamus can be issued by this Court directing the respondents to provide alternative employment to the petitioner, more so when the organization, in which the petitioner was hitherto employed, itself stand dissolved. The writ petition is accordingly dismissed. However in the circumstances without costs. Date: 28.03.2006 ____________________________ RAMESH RANGANAGHAN, J MRKR
