THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE R.SUBHASH REDDY WRIT PETITION No.6755 of 2010 ORDER: In this writ petition, the petitioner seeks a mandamus declaring the action of respondents 2 to 5 in not appointing the petitioner on regular basis and extending the benefits to him as per G.O.Ms.No.118, dated 18.08.1999, as illegal and arbitrary. It is the case of the petitioner that after the death of his father, who worked as Watchman on daily wage basis in the Social Welfare Department, the petitioner was appointed on temporary basis in the same post on compassionate ground. Now, the grievance of the petitioner is that though he is entitled to be appointed on regular basis as per G.O.Ms.No.118, dated 18.08.1999, the respondents are not appointing him on the ground of administrative reasons. For the relief sought by the petitioner to direct the respondents to appoint him in the post of Government service, he has to approach the Andhra Pradesh Administrative Tribunal but not this Court. Though he claims that he approached the Tribunal earlier in 2008, he did not seek extension of the benefit of G.O.Ms.No.118, dated 18.08.1999. In view of the aforesaid reason, the writ petition is dismissed. However, the petitioner is at liberty to approach the Tribunal seeking necessary relief. No order as to costs. _______________________ R.SUBHASH REDDY, J 25th MARCH, 2010. kvni
