THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE GHULAM MOHAMMED AND THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE B.SESHASAYANA REDDY W.P.No.21204 of 2007, 22495 of 2007 And W.P.No.22290 of 2007 COMMON O R D E R:- (per Hon’ble Sri Justice Ghulam Mohammed) When the interlocutory applications were taken up for hearing, the learned Counsel for both the parties agreed that the main petitions may be disposed of. Since the issue involved in all these writ petitions is one and the same, these writ petitions are being disposed of by this common order. Originally, the respondents herein are the applicants before the Tribunal. They filed O.As before the Tribunal on the ground that they are working in S.C. Railways, Vijayawada and they applied for the post of Signal Engineer in Private Organization for their professional advancement and they made representations seeking voluntary resignation and since the respondents have not acted upon the representation, they approached the Tribunal by filing the O.As seeking a direction to the authorities to relieve them. The Tribunal having observed that earlier judgment of the Tribunal in O.A.No.286 of 2007 squarely covers the case of the applicants, allowed the O.As. Having aggrieved by the same, the authorities filed the present writ petitions. Heard the learned Counsel and perused the material available on record. The learned Counsel for the respondents-applicants contended that while entering into the service, they executed a bond to the effect that they will serve the railways for a period of five years after confirmation and they rendered 12 years of service and submitted resignations and therefore, their resignations can be accepted. On the other hand, the learned Standing Counsel submitted that the wing, where the respondents-applicants are working, is a Special Wing where public interest is involved and it requires considerable time to make alternative arrangements and in this regard, recommendations were also made under the rules. Inasmuch as it is stated that the applicants/respondents are working in Special Wing and their services cannot be withdrawn at once and as public interest is involved and the learned Standing Counsel for the petitioners states that atleast one year time is required to make alternative arrangement, in the circumstances, the petitioners are directed to make alternative arrangements in place of the respondents/applicants within a period of one year from today and relieve the applicants. With the above direction, the writ petitions are disposed of. No costs. __________________ GHULAM MOHAMMED,J _____________________ B.SESHASAYANA REDDY,J 24th December, 2008.
