Counsel for the Petitioners: MR.L.NAGESWARA RAO Counsel for the Respondents: GP FOR EDUCATION The Court made the following: ORDER: The petitioners who worked in various capacities on N.M.R. basis filed the present writ petition questioning the order, dated 30-07-1994, issued by the Secretary and Correspondent, S.V.H.College of Engineering, Machilipatnam, by which their services were terminated. From the record it appears that they made a representation before the Commissioner of Technical Education, Government of Andhra Pradesh, and as the Commissioner of Technical Education has not passed any orders till date, they approached this Court and filed the present Writ Petition. Admittedly, the impugned order terminating the petitioners was passed in the month of July, 1994, and the present Writ Petition came to be filed in the month of October, 1994, and no interim orders were passed. Hence, it is to be inferred that the petitioners are not in service right from the date when they were terminated from the service, and as such, I see no reason to interfere with the said order, at this point of time, i.e., after a lapse of about ten years. Accordingly, the Writ Petition is dismissed. No costs. _______________ 15-07-2004 LSK/TS ASSISTANT REGISTRAR // TRUE COPY // SECTION OFFICER To 1.The Commissioner of Technical Education, Government of A.P. Hyderabad. 2.
