IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE, ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD (Special Original Jurisdiction) PRESENT THE HON’BLE THE CHIEF JUSTICE SHRI NISAR AHMAD KAKRU AND THE HON’BLE SHRI JUSTICE VILAS V. AFZULPURKAR WRIT APPEAL NO.668 OF 2010 DATED:25.1.2011 Between: M. Uma Maheswarai and others … Appellants And The Joint Collector-cum-Chairman, Selection Committee, Rajiv Vidya Mission, Sarva Siksha Abhiyan (SSA), Kurnool Kurnool District and others … Respondents THE HON’BLE THE CHIEF JUSTICE SHRI NISAR AHMAD KAKRU AND THE HON’BLE SHRI JUSTICE VILAS V. AFZULPURKAR WRIT APPEAL NO.668 OF 2010 JUDGMENT: (per the Hon’ble the Chief Justice Shri Nisar Ahmad Kakru) Notification inviting applications for appointment as contract residential mahila teachers became subject matter of Writ Petition No.21762 of 2010 at the instance of the writ appellants staking claim for their regularization which is refuted by the other side on the ground that their engagement is by a Special Officer and till the end of the academic year only. Along side, a miscellaneous petition was filed seeking a direction for their continuation which has been declined by the writ Court, consequently this writ appeal. We have been taken through the material available on record by the learned counsel for the parties. Learned counsel for the appellants – petitioners has not produced the basic engagement order but reliance is placed on order of continuation, perusal whereof reveals that they have to be continued till the recruitment of contract resource teachers is finalized by the Committee constituted for the purpose. In that view of the matter, we find nothing wrong with the refusal of the learned writ Court but regard being had to the fact of continuation of the appellants in terms of an interim direction passed by one of the coordinate Benches of this Court, we are of the opinion that ends of justice would be met by withdrawing the interim direction insofar it requires the respondents to reserve fifteen posts for the writ appellants leaving them free to go ahead with the process of selection/appointment and pending selection/appointment process, those appellants who are in position as on date shall be allowed to continue till selection is finalized. Needless to say that the adjudication of the writ petition by the writ Court shall have to be uninfluenced by the observations if any made herein. Disposed of. VILAS V.
