THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE GOPALA KRISHNA TAMADA W.P.No.22894 of 2000 ORDER The petitioner approached this Court and filed the present writ petition with the following prayer; “to issue a writ, order or direction and more particularly one in the nature of writ of Mandamus declaring the action of the respondents in not considering the representations for pay protection on par with other Principals, who are enjoying the same benefits, as unjust, arbitrary, illegal, capricious action and contrary to law and consequently direct the respondents to protect pay with all consequential benefits from their date of joining as Principals and pass such other order or orders”. 2. This Court, while admitting the writ petition, refused to grant interim direction for the reason that the prayer in WPMP and the writ petition is one and the same. This writ petition is pending for the last more than ten years. As the prayer itself is for considering the representations of pay protection on par with other Principals, who are enjoying the same benefits, this Court is of the view that the cause in the writ petition does not survive at this length of time. 3. Accordingly, the Writ Petition is dismissed. No costs. _________________________ GOPALA KRISHNA TAMADA, J Date:25.11.2010 sj
