THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.RAMULU WRIT PETITION No.1264 of 2009 Dated: 06.07.2010 Between: J. Dasaratha and others. .. Petitioners And Government of Andhra Pradesh, Rep. by its Principal Secretary to Government, Energy Department, Secretariat, Hyderabad, and others. .. Respondents. ORDER: The order under challenge is a Revised Provisional Seniority List of the Assistant Engineers/Electrical in the Central Power Distribution Company of A.P. Limited, Red Hills, Greater Hyderabad. Petitioners, who are appointed on regular basis in A.P.Transco, state that the names of the contract employees appointed on yearly contract basis without any reference to the Service (Recruitment) Rules and Regulations, which are applicable to the regular employees of the A.P. Transco, are placed ahead of their names in the impugned Seniority List, aggrieved by which they submitted a detailed representation to the respondents, but so far the respondents have not initiated any action thereon. Hence, this writ petition is filed seeking appropriate directions. Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that the respondents are trying to give promotions to the Assistant Engineers/Electrical as per the said impugned Revised Provisional Seniority List, which has been issued illegally and arbitrarily. He also submits that unless and until the Final Seniority List is prepared, the respondents shall not be permitted to extend the benefit of promotion to the employees basing on the impugned Seniority List, to which the learned Standing Counsel appearing for the respondents reported no objection. I am in agreement with the aforesaid submissions made by the learned counsel for the petitioners. Thus, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the writ petition with a direction to the respondents to prepare a Final Seniority List of the Assistant Engineers/Electrical in the Central Power Distribution Company of A.P. Limited, Red Hills, Greater Hyderabad, after inviting the objections from all the concerned employees including the petitioners and taking into consideration of those objections, and till such time, the Assistant Engineers/Electrical shall not be given promotions either on adhoc basis or temporary basis. However, it is made clear that any in-charge/temporary/adhoc promotions already given as on today shall not be disturbed till finalisation of the Final Seniority List. Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of. No order as to costs. _____________ C.V.RAMULU,J 06.07.2010 v v
