THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE NOOTY RAMAMOHANA RAO WRIT PETITION Nos.3168, 3654, 10020, 21494 of 2001, 17502, 27448 of 2003, 24812 of 2004, 10910, 11949 of 2005, 24259 and 28109 of 2007, 1609 and 5089 of 2008, 15369, 27172 and 27391 of 2009 COMMON ORDER: Heard the respective learned counsel for the petitioners and Sri Durga Prasad, the learned counsel for the respondent-society. All these cases can be dealt with commonly as they seek identical relief namely regularization of their services with the Andhra Pradesh Social Welfare Residential Educational Institutions Society (henceforth referred to for brevity as “Society”). The petitioners are working both in teaching and non-teaching cadres. The Society, has been established for the purpose of creating infrastructural facilities across the breadth and length of the State providing for schooling facilities up to the secondary school essentially, and at certain places up to two year intermediate course as well. For the purpose of running all these educational institutions, the society needed the services of trained teachers as well as supporting non-teaching staff. Amongst the teachers, there are two classes namely (1) Trained Graduate Teacher (T.G.T.) and (2) Post Graduate Teacher (P.G.T.). The qualifications necessary to be possessed by the respective candidates have been well defined. Similarly, the qualifications necessary to be possessed for recruitment against the non-teaching posts in these educational institutions have also been spelt out. The grievance of the petitioners is that they have been engaged against the regular posts sanctioned to the various institutions run by this society, but yet, they had not been extended the benefit of regularization of services. As a result of which, they are deprived of various benefits including the benefit of sense of security. The claim of the petitioners in all these cases is rested upon the policy decision taken by the State Government contained in their G.O.Ms.No.212 Finance and Planning (FW PC. III) Department, dated 22.04.1994, wherein the Government has decided to regularize the services of such persons worked continuously for a minimum period of five years and or continuing as such as on 25.11.1993 subject to fulfillment of the conditions specified therein. The State Government does made it clear that if any employee is working continuously for a period of five years or more by 25.11.1993 and satisfying the six conditions specified therein, such a person is entitled to have his services regularized with effect from 22.04.1994, the date on which the said policy decision has been announced. The services of the petitioners herein could not be regularized as several cases, which have been filed in this Court have been kept pending and ultimately, the matter was carried to the Supreme Court and the Supreme Court in A. Manjula Bhashini and others Vs., The Managing Director, A.P. Women’s Co-operative Finance Corporation Limited and another[1] by its Judgment dated July, 6th 2009 has decided the entire controversy. The judgment has been concluded in the following terms :- “ with a view to obviate further litigation on this issue, we direct the Government of Andhra Pradesh, its officers and agencies/instrumentalities of the State to complete the exercise for regularization of the services of eligible employees within four months of the receipt/production of copy of this order, without being influenced by the fact that the application, writ petition or appeal filed by any such employee may have been dismissed by the Tribunal or High Court of this Court.” Now that the controversy has been completely resolved by the Supreme Court by directing the services of all such persons to be regularized, who are covered completely by the Sweep of the Policy decision of the State Government contained in their G.O.Ms.No.212, it is only apt that the respondent-society herein should take up the cases of the writ petitioners herein individually, examine and pass appropriate orders within a maximum period of four months from today, in terms of the judgment rendered by the Supreme Court in Manjula Bashini’s case ( 1 supra). All the Writ Petitions stand disposed of, with this order, but however, without costs. ---------------------------------- (NOOTY RAMAMOHANA RAO, J) 13th August 2010 Note:- Issue CC in a week’s time (By order) bud [1] (2009) 2 SCC Page 441
