Justice T. Meena Kumari) All these appeals are ﬁled by JNTU questioning the orders passed by the learned Single Judge whereunder a direction was given to the Registrar, JNTU, Hyderabad, to regularize the services of the petitioners, who have completed ﬁve years of service, without reference to the artiﬁcial breaks that were given in 1993 and without insisting for existence of clear vacancies as stipulated in G.O.Ms.No.212, dated 22.4.1994 but subject to fulfilling of other conditions stipulated therein. When these matters have taken up for hearing, it is brought to the notice of this Court by the learned Counsel for the appellants that the issue involved in these appeals is squarely covered by the unreported judgment of a Division Bench of this Court passed in WA No.483 of 2001 on 27.4.2001, in which it has been observed thus: “The writ appeal No.483 of 2001 is ﬁled against the judgment of the learned Single Judge in WP No.16850/1997. The learned Single Judge while following the judgment reported in D. SESHARANI V. MD. A.P.WOMEN’S COOP. FINANCE CORPORATION, HYDERABAD 1 (2001 (2) ALD 304) allowed the writ petition giving a direction to the appellant- Corporation to regularize the service of employee/workman and to give other benefits. In Writ Appeal No.366 of 2000 and batch pronounced on 27.4.2001, we have set aside the judgment of the learned Single Judge in D. SESHARANI’S case (Supra). In view of the same, this writ appeal is allowed and the impugned judgment is set aside accordingly. There shall be no order as to costs.” Perused the above Judgment. We feel that the issue involved in the present appeals is squarely covered by the judgment of a Division Bench of this Court in the above Writ Appeal and therefore, these appeals can be disposed of in terms of the above Judgment. Hence, these writ appeals are disposed of in terms of the judgment in WANo.483 of 2001, dated 27.4.2001. ________________________ Justice T.
