THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.24460 of 2011 ORDER: The petitioner, who was working as a Post Graduate Teacher in the A.P. Residential Educational Institutions Society, was reverted through proceedings, dated 10.09.2010, and was transferred from Lepakshi to Peruru in Ananthapur District. W.P.No.23974 of 2010 was allowed by this Court on 28.09.2010 setting aside the order of reversion and transfer. The respondents accordingly issued orders, dated 22.10.2010, retaining the petitioner at Lepakshi. The petitioner was not on duty for a period of 35 days between 21.09.2010 and 24.10.2010. He made a representation, dated 25.10.2010, with a request to treat the period as ‘on duty’ and to pay salary for that period. His grievance is that no action has been taken thereon. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Standing Counsel for the respondents. The order of reversion and transfer passed against the petitioner was set aside by this Court. That must naturally lead to the conclusion that the petitioner was wrongfully transferred. The period during which he was absent till the date of reinstatement consequent to the orders of this Court, deserves to be treated as ‘on duty’. The respondents cannot keep the representation pending. Hence, the writ petition is disposed of, directing the respondents to pass orders on the representation, dated 25.10.2010, made by the petitioner and take necessary steps, within a period of four weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. There shall be no order as to costs. _______________________ L.NARASIMHA REDDY,J Dt:30.08.2011. kdl
