THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE K.C. BHANU WRIT PETITION No.20192 of 2011 ORDER: 1. This writ petition is filed to call for the records relating to the order of the first respondent bearing Rc.No.D3/22695/2011-1, dated 15-7- 2011 and set aside the same and consequently direct the respondents to continue the petitioner as Manager of Sri Anjaneya Swamy Temple, Chinna Rajamoor Village, Devarakonda Mandal, Mahaboobnagar District. 2. The brief facts that are necessary for disposal of the writ petition may be stated as follows: The petitioner, initially, was appointed as Clerk in Sri Venkateswara Swamy Temple, Pentlavally (V), Mahaboobnagar District. Thereafter, the third respondent engaged him as Manager on 31.08.2001. The petitioner was kept in charge as Manager of Sri Anjaneya Swamy Temple, Chinna Rajamoor Village, Devarakonda Mandal, Mahaboobnagar District and he is working as such. While so, the first respondent issued the impugned order dated 15-7-2001 withdrawing the services of the petitioner and repatriating him as Junior Assistant to his parent institution i.e., Sri Venkateswara Swamy Temple, on the ground that he had committed certain irregularities in the administration of the temple, without giving any notice or opportunity to him. The first respondent has not followed the procedure as contemplated under Section 38 of the A.P. Charitable & Hindu Religious Institutions and Endowments Act, 1987. The only ground urged by the petitioner is that he has not committed any irregularities in performing his duties and thus, the impugned order passed by the first respondent is bad in law. Hence, the writ petition. 3 . Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader for Endowments. 4. Learned counsel for the petitioner contended that even though there are no complaints from the public against the petitioner with regard to performance of his duties, the impugned order has passed repatriating him as Junior Assistant to his parent institution on the allegation of committing irregularities and therefore, the same is liable to be set aside. 5 . Repatriation or reversion only signifies that the employee returns back to his substantive post over which he is holding a lien and can obviously take place on a termination of the deputation. Petitioner does not have any indefeasible right to insist that he should not be recalled before the expiry of the specified period. 6. The petitioner is not admittedly holding the substantive post of Manager. His substantive appointment is Junior Assistant. He was kept in additional charge as Manager of Sri Anjaneya Swamy Temple on deputation by virtue of orders dated 13.10.2010. In view of certain allegations levelled against him, he was repatriated as Junior Assistant to his parent institution - Sri Venkateswara Swamy Temple. Therefore, it is not a reduction in rank. A passing observation was made in the impugned order with regard to committing certain irregularities while discharging his duties as Manager and it does not amount to stigma on the services of the petitioner. Since the petitioner is repatriated to his parent Institution, he cannot claim, as a matter of right, to continue in the Additional Charge as a Manager of Sri Anjaneya Swamy Temple, Chinna Rajamoor Village, Devarakadra Mandal, Mahaboobnagar District. Therefore, in the absence of infringement of any legal right or statutory right, issuance of writ of mandamus does not arise and the writ petition is liable to be dismissed. 7. Accordingly, the writ petition is dismissed. There shall be no order as to costs. K.C. BHANU, J Date: 19.07.2011 va
