THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.252 of 2004 ORDER: The petitioners were appointed as Record Assistants in the third respondent institution on 13.12.1992 and 02.01.1993 respectively. The institution is admitted to grant in aid. The Government sanctioned two aided posts of Record Assistants through G.O.Ms.No.170 dated 12.07.1990 with effect from 16.04.1990. The petitioners made representations to the Management to absorb them against the aided vacancies, placing reliance upon the Andhra Pradesh General Subordinate Service Rules as amended through G.O.Ms.No.965, General Administration Department, dated 21.10.1995. Earlier they approached this Court by filing W.P.No.18407 of 1997 and that was disposed of by this Court on 22.07.1997 with a direction to the respondents to consider the cases of the petitioners. Nothing appears to have ensued. This writ petition is filed for a Mandamus to declare the action of respondent Nos.1 and 2 in not approving the appointment of the petitioners against the aided vacancies as illegal, arbitrary and unjust. Respondent Nos.1 and 2 filed a counter-affidavit opposing the writ petition. It is stated that the third respondent did not issue any notification as required under the relevant provisions of law and is insisting on absorption of the petitioners straight away. It is also their case that G.O.Ms.No.965 dated 21.10.1995 does not apply to the case of the petitioners. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioners and the learned Government Pleader for Higher Education. The petitioners seek absorption against the aided vacancies of Record Assistants in the third respondent institution. The necessity for this Court to deal with the various contentions advanced by the parties is obviated on account of the fact that the Government imposed a ban on appointment against the aided vacancies in the year 2004. Voluminous litigation ensued thereafter. The matter is now pending before the Hon’ble Supreme Court. In view of the interim orders passed by the Hon’ble Supreme Court, the situation is that the Government cannot be compelled to fill the aided vacancies. In that view of the matter, no relief can be granted to the petitioners. Accordingly, the writ petition is dismissed. It is, however, left open to the petitioners to pursue their remedies depending upon the outcome of the proceedings that are pending before the Hon’ble Supreme Court vis-à-vis the ban imposed on appointment against the aided vacancies. There shall be no order as to costs. _______________________ L.NARASIMHA REDDY, J 09th September, 2010 GHN
