THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE NOOTY RAMAMOHANA RAO WRIT PETITION No. 107 of 2001 O R D E R: This Writ Petition has been filed calling in question the legality and validity of the orders passed by the State Government in their G.O.Ms. No. 173, Higher Education Department, dated 12.12.2000, amending the orders issued earlier by them through their G.O.Ms.No. 208, dated 29.06.1999. Learned Standing Counsel for the 2nd respondent – Osmania University, Sri Deepak Bhattacharjee, has brought to my notice that a similar question has been agitated before this Court in Writ Petition No. 5426 of 1998 and against the order passed by this Court in the said Writ Petition and Writ Appeal No. 1735 of 1998, a special leave petition has been moved before the Supreme Court and the matter is now engaging the attention of the Supreme Court. In this view of the matter, it is needless to observe that any decision which the Supreme Court takes in the aforementioned civil appeals, automatically govern the case of the petitioners herein as well. It is, therefore, appropriate to dispose of this Writ Petition, directing the respondents to extend the benefits as determined by the Supreme Court in Special Leave to Appeal (Civil) No. 9072-9074 of 2002 as and when the Supreme Court decides the said issue. With this, the Writ Petition stands disposed of. No costs. ---------------------------------- (NOOTY RAMAMOHANA RAO, J) 16th April 2010 ksld
