Counsel for the Petitioner:MR.G.VENKATESWARLU Counsel for the Respondents 1 AND 2: GP FOR MEDICAL, HEALTH & FAMILY WELFARE . The Court made the following : O R D E R: (PER GB.J.,) 1) This writ petition is filed assailing the order passed in O.A.No.1034 of 2005, dated 01.03.2005 on the file of the Andhra Pradesh Administrative Tribunal, Hyderabad. 2) The petitioner was a retired Government employee. However, on 25.11.2003 he was again appointed in the Blood Bank of Gandhi Hospital, Secunderabad, on contract basis. While so, on 01.12.2004 his services were terminated by the agency. Aggrieved by the said termination, the petitioner filed O.A.No.1034 of 2005 before the Tribunal. The Tribunal after considering the matter, dismissed the O.A. Against the said order, this writ petition has been filed. 3) The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the order of termination is illegal and arbitrary. He also submits that the similarly situated persons who are juniors to the petitioner are continuing on contract basis and the services of the petitioner were terminated without giving any valid reasons. Hence, he seeks appropriate relief. 4) As the petitioner was sponsored by a private agency, it is very much doubtful whether the O.A. is maintainable or not. Be that as it may, the Tribunal found that the termination was valid. Thus, we do not find any ground to interfere with the order. 5) The writ petition is accordingly dismissed. No costs. __________________ G.BIKSHAPATHY.J., __________________ P.S.NARAYANA.J., Dt.12.04.2005 tjs To 1. The Superintendent, Gandhi Hospital, Secunderabad. 2.
