THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.RAMULU W.P.No.17248 of 1996 ORAL ORDER: This writ petition is filed seeking a Mandamus declaring the action of the respondents in not regularizing the services of the petitioner and not paying time scale attached to the post of Lecturer as arbitrary, illegal, discriminatory and violative of Articles 14, 16 and 39D of the Constitution of India and consequently to declare that the petitioner is entitled to be regularized as per Government Orders in force. It appears, petitioner after having passed Master of Arts (M.A.) in Political Science, was appointed as part-time lecturer in B.R. Government Degree College, Punganuru from the academic year 1987-88. The petitioner was entrusted with 22 periods a week and was continued as such, since there were instructions to continue the part- time lecturers till the finalisation of process of their regularization. However, in the meanwhile, Act 2 of 1994 came into force dispensing with the services of temporary/casual/daily wage employees. The said Act was challenged before this Court as well as before the Hon’ble Supreme Court. At that stage, Government of A.P. issued G.O.Ms.No.212 dated 22.4.1994 directing regularization of such of those employees who were in service as on 25.11.1993 and continued thereafter. The Government further issued G.O.Ms.No.166 dated 8.6.1994 directing payment of minimum of time scale to all the part- time lecturers who have been entrusted with more than 18 periods a week. Further, the Government also issued instructions for regularization of part-time lecturers vide G.O.Ms.No.221 dated 20.6.1995. According to the petitioner, he is entitled for being continued in service and also entitled for minimum of time scale and regularization of his services. In this regard, he also made a representation, but there was no response. Hence this writ petition. There is no necessity of going into all the details. It appears, while admitting the writ petition, this Court granted interim direction in W.P.M.P.No.23554 of 1997 on 23.9.1997 directing the respondents to continue the petitioner in service pending the writ petition. It appears, thereafter, petitioner also filed a contempt case complaining wilful disobedience on the part of the respondents in complying with the said interim order. However, the said contempt case was closed on the statement made by the learned Government Pleader that the orders of the Court were implemented and the petitioner was put on time scale. Now the learned counsel for petitioner states that the services of the petitioner were already regularized in the cadre of Lecturer. In view of the same, no further orders are necessary in this writ petition and the same is accordingly closed. No order as to costs. _____________ C.V.RAMULU, J Date: 22.3.2007 DA THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.RAMULU W.P.No.17248 of 1996 22.3.2007 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE OF ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.RAMULU W.P.No.17248 of 1996 Date: 22nd March, 2007 Between: K.Pardhasaradhi ..
