IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE, ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD (Special Original Jurisdiction) MONDAY, THE FIRST DAY OF FEBRUARY TWO THOUSAND AND TEN PRESENT HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE A.GOPAL REDDY AND HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE NOUSHAD ALI WRIT PETITION No.1120 of 2010 Between: M.Satyanarayana and three others. … Petitioners And The Director of Works ccounts, Government of Andhra Pradesh and two others. … Respondents This Court made the following: HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE A.GOPAL REDDY AND HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE NOUSHAD ALI WRIT PETITION No.1120 of 2010 ORDER: - (per the Hon’ble Sri Justice A.Gopal Reddy) Petitioners who are all working as Senior Assistants in the Pay and Accounts Office, Works and Projects, Hyderabad and Senior Assistant at Pay and Accounts Office, Nalgonda filed this writ petition for issuing a direction to the respondent to declare the action of the respondents in preparing the seniority list partly in terms of G.O.Rt.No.228 and partly as per the instructions received in terms of the Government Memo dated 18.08.2006 as arbitrary and illegal and to fix the seniority in terms of the Presidential Order 1975 i.e., as per Govt. Memo dated 18.08.2006 by following the Presidential Order 1975. B.Venkateswarlu and Ch.Venkata Reddy, who are working as Senior Assistants, moved the Tribunal questioning the action of the respondents in not implementing the G.O.Rt.No.228 dated 22.11.2008 and for its implementation by fixing the seniority by treating the N.S.Hill colony as a separate unit and to promote them as office superintendents and for appropriate relief. The Tribunal after taking into consideration of its earlier order passed in O.A.No.7779 of 2006, dated 03.01.2007, wherein the respondent was directed to implement the orders issued in G.O.Rt.No.228, allowed the O.A. directing the respondents to prepare the inter-se-seniority list either by G.O.Rt.No.228 pertaining to enter 6th Zone or as per the instructions issued in Memo dated 18.08.2006 and communicate the same to the concerned and fix the seniority of the applicants within six weeks. The main grievance of the petitioners appears to be that the Pay and Accounts Office, Rangareddy, Medak and Nizamabad in Zone-VI which under the jurisdiction of 3rd respondent, are to be added to the control of 2nd respondent and without adding them to the control of the Joint Director of Works, the seniority list cannot be called as full-fledged one as per Circular Memo dated 04.10.2006 and the G.O.Rt.No.228 is not in conformity with the Government Memo dated 18.08.2006. In view of the same, any seniority list prepared without including all the above districts, which forms part of 6th zone, is incomplete and cannot be proceeded. Petitioners have not challenged the order passed by the Tribunal by impleading the petitioners therein, as party-respondents to this writ petition. If the petitioners are aggrieved by the preparation of seniority list without including the above four districts, which forms part of the 6th zone, they can always move the Tribunal at the first instance, as held by the Hon’ble Supreme Court in L.Chandra Kumar v. Union of India[1]. Without first moving the Tribunal, the petitioners cannot directly file this writ petition, with the reliefs as claimed. In view of the same, the present writ petition cannot be entertained and it is accordingly dismissed. Petitioners are at liberty to avail the remedies available to them, as per law. No costs. __________________ A.GOPAL REDDY, J _________________ NOUSHAD ALI, J 01.02.2010 lmv [1] AIR 1997 SC 1125
