THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.RAMULU W.P.No.3650 of 1999 ORAL ORDER: This writ petition is filed seeking a Mandamus directing the respondents to absorb the petitioner to the post of sub-staff on regular scale of pay forthwith. It is the case of the petitioner that he was appointed as sub-staff in the Respondent Bank at Regional Office, Kakinada in the year 1982 and he has been continuously working since then, but his services were not regularized. Hence this writ petition. This Court, while admitting the writ petition on 24.2.1999 granted interim direction to the respondents to continue the petitioner in the post of sub-staff. Further, by order dated 17.2.2000 this Court directed the respondents to continue the petitioner as Peon at Tallarevu branch in the existing vacancy or to continue him at any other place in Kakinada without shifting him from one place to another place. Thus, petitioner is being continued as on today. Now it is the grievance of the petitioner that he is entitled for absorption as sub-staff on regular basis as per the scheme evolved by the Bank. As per the said scheme, the Bank is obligated to prepare a list of sub-staff and regularize their services as per seniority. In view of the above, without expressing any opinion on merits, the respondents are directed to consider for absorption of petitioner as sub- staff in the existing vacancy, if not already absorbed. Till such time, the services of the petitioner shall not be disturbed. The writ petition is accordingly disposed of. No order as to costs. ______________ C.V.RAMULU, J Date: 5.12.2007 DA THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.RAMULU W.P.No.3650 of 1999 5.12.2007 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE OF ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.
