THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.RAMULU W.P.No.5415 of 1997 ORAL ORDER: This writ petition is ﬁled seeking a Mandamus (i) to declare that the petitioner is entitled to be promoted to the post of Assistant Estate Manager on regular basis with effect from 1.1.1995, (ii) to direct the respondents to regularize the services of the petitioner from the said date without resorting to the principles of reservation and (iii) to declare that the petitioner is entitled to all consequential benefits.

Recording the same, the writ petition is closed.
