Radhakishan and ors …Petitioners And Kakathiya University, rep. By its Registrar and ors …Respondents. THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE R.SUBHASH REDDY WRIT PETITION NO : 25380 of 2005 ORDER: The petitioners, four in number, who are working as Security Guards in Kakathiya University, have filed this Writ Petition, seeking direction to absorb them as Security Guards. However, it is the case of the respondents that the petitioners are not appointed by the respondent-University in any vacancy by following due procedure contemplated for appointments. In view of the recent judgment of the Apex Court in the case of Secretary, State of Karnataka Vs. Uma Devi [1], no direction can be issued for absorption of the petitioners, as they are not appointed by any competent authority by following the procedure for appointment to regular vacancies. However, it is submitted by the learned Counsel for the petitioners that the petitioners may be permitted to go before the Industrial Tribunal for raising Industrial Dispute under the provisions of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947. It is open for the petitioners to avail alternative remedy available under law. The Writ Petition is devoid of merits and the same is accordingly dismissed. No order as to costs. --------------------------------------- JUSTICE R. SUBHASH REDDY DATE: 28-07-2006. Msnr. [1] (2006)4 SCC 1
