THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.RAMULU WRIT PETITION No.967 of 2000 Dated: 20.07.2010 Between: M.Bhaskara Rao. .. Petitioner. And The Government of Andhra Pradesh Rep. by Secretary to Food & Agriculture (Co. Op. VI) Department, Government Secretariat, Hyderabad, And others. .. Respondents. ORDER: According to the petitioner, he was appointed as Helper on N.M.R. basis with the respondent Corporation in the month of April, 1989, and as his services were not regularized, himself and other such N.M.Rs, through their Association, submitted various representations to the Corporation, seeking regularization of their services, but their representations have not been acted upon. It is his case that similarly placed employees of the Corporation approached this Court by filing W.P.No.1742 of 1992, and a Division Bench of this Court on 28.08.1997 disposed of the said writ petition directing the petitioners therein to file fresh representation before the respondent Corporation and, on receipt of such representation, the Corporation was directed to consider the same sympathetically within three months from the date of such representation, if the petitioners therein have served in the Corporation for more than 240 days and the said posts were existing as on that day. The grievance of the petitioner is that though he has been working in the respondent Corporation since a long time, his services are not being regularized. Hence, this writ petition. A counter affidavit has been filed on behalf of the 2nd respondent stating that the petitioner was engaged on daily wages depending upon the workload. It is stated that the Corporation is initiating steps to dispense with the services of surplus staff under Voluntary Retirement Scheme, as the Corporation is running in loss and there is no sufficient work to continue the surplus staff, and the proposals thereof are pending with the Government. It is also stated that it is very difficult for the Corporation to continue the petitioner even on daily wages, since the Corporation is not in a position to bear further financial burden of paying daily wages to the petitioner. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the financial status of the Corporation is now improved and is not in a position as stated in the counter affidavit filed in the year 2000. He also submits that the services of the petitioner are being continued till date. Having regard to the aforesaid submissions and the facts and circumstances of the case, the writ petition is disposed of directing respondent Nos. 2 and 3 to consider regularization of the services of the petitioner on par with the petitioners in W.P.No.1742 of 1992 and pass appropriate orders within a period of six weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. No order as to costs. _____________ C.V.RAMULU,J 20.07.2010 v v
