THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE N.V. RAMANA Writ Petition No. 12362 of 2007 Dated: 14.06.2007 Between: Joka Kasi Viswanadham and another .... PETITIONERS AND Sri Veera Venkata Satyanarayana Swami Devasthanam, Annavaram, East Godavari District, rep. by its Executive Officer. .....RESPONDENT THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE N.V. RAMANA Writ Petition No. 12362 of 2007 Order: The petitioners state that they were initially appointed as NMRs in the respondent-Temple in the year 1993 and 1994 respectively, and subsequently they were appointed as Drivers in the existing vacancy on regular basis vide proceedings dated 31.03.2000 of the respondent- Temple. Now, the grievance of the petitioners is that the respondent- Temple, instead of granting them the pay scale attached to the post of Driver from the date of their appointment as Drivers i.e., from 31.03.2000, have extended the said benefit only from 06.05.2005. Hence, they submitted a representation dated 28.06.2006 requesting the respondent-Temple to extend the pay scale of the Driver with effect from 31.03.2000, but no orders thereon have been passed till date. Hence, they filed the present writ petition. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioners and the learned Standing Counsel for the respondent-Temple. Both the counsel agreed for disposal of the writ petition with a direction to the respondent-Temple to consider and dispose of the representation of the petitioner, dated 28.06.2006. Since the representation of the petitioners, dated 28.06.2006, is said to be pending consideration before the respondent-Temple, and in view of the agreed stand taken by both the counsel, without going into the merits of the matter, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the writ petition with the following directions: The respondent-Temple is directed to consider the representation, dated 28.06.2006, of the petitioners and pass appropriate orders thereon in accordance with law, expeditiously, preferably within a period of two weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of. No costs. ___________________ N.V. RAMANA, J. Date: 14.06.2007 Nsr
