HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE K.C.BHANU WRIT PETITION No.11007 of 2011 ORDER: Heard learned counsel for the petitioner. The writ petition is filed seeking to issue a writ of Mandamus declaring the action of the respondents in not releasing the wages of the petitioner from April 2010 as illegal and arbitrary and consequently, direct them to release the same. The case of the petitioner is that he was appointed as Sub-Engineer on 15.06.2002 through a duly constituted selection process. Subsequently, he was posted to work as Assistant Engineer, Nyalakal Section, Medak, vide proceedings dated 01.05.2007 and on the same day he has taken the charge from his predecessor. It is alleged that his predecessor was awarded ten work orders, but consequent to the transfer order, he could not complete the same. As such, he was supposed to hand over the work orders along with the material to the petitioner for taking up the said works. It is further averred that the petitioner could not complete the said work as his predecessor has not handed over the material to him. On that ground, his wages have not been paid from April, 2010. The grievance of the petitioner is that though he made representations to the respondents on 22.09.2010 and 07.03.2011, no orders have yet been passed thereon. The case of the petitioner has to be considered by respondent No.3. Therefore, the writ petition is disposed of, at the stage of admission, directing respondent No.3 to take appropriate decision and pass necessary orders, in releasing the wages of the petitioner duly considering the representations made by him, if there are no laches on the part of the petitioner in completing the works, within a period of six weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. There shall be no order as to costs. ____________________ JUSTICE K.C.BHANU 20th April 2011 dr
