HON’BLE MS JUSTICE G.ROHINI W.P. No.9474 of 1999 Dt.03-03-2010 Sri Raghavendra Public High School, Allagadda, Kurnool, rep.by its Correspondent Y.Papireddy … Petitioner Vs. 1. Government of Andhra Pradesh Rep.by its Secretary, Finance & Planning (FW) (Surplus Manpower Cell) Dept, Hyderabad and three others … Respondents O R D E R: The writ petitioner is a School, which was admitted to grant-in- aid in the year 1992. By proceedings dated 28.8.1999, the Regional Joint Director of School Education, Kadapa accorded permission to the petitioner school to fill up one post of SG Assistant (Aided) with OC candidate at roaster point No.3 following the recruitment procedure laid down in G.O.Ms.No.1, dated 01.01.1994. Accordingly, one N.V.V.Maheswara Reddy was appointed. However, the respondents failed to release the aid to the said post on the ground that the clearance from the Finance & Planning Department as per the Government Memo dated 5.8.1998 was not obtained by the petitioner school before making the appointment. Aggrieved by the same, the present writ petition has been filed. On 30.4.1999 this Court granted interim suspension of the Government Memo dated 5.8.1998 so far as the petitioner was concerned. In the counter-affidavit filed on behalf of the respondents 1 to 3, it is stated that in compliance with the interim directions granted by this Court and as per the instructions dated 26.10.1999 issued by the Director of School Education, A.P., Hyderabad, the appointment of N.V.V.Maheswara Reddy as Secondary Grade Assistant (aided) was approved by the Regional Joint Director of School Education, Kadapa, vide his proceedings dated 22.11.1999 subject to outcome of W.P.No.9474 of 1999 and clearance from the District Collector (District Level Surplus Manpower Cell) as per G.O.Ms.No.76, Education, dated 2.11.1999. Heard the learned counsel for both the parties. The material available on record shows that as per the Government Memo dated 5.8.1998 the schools which were getting the Government aid shall obtain the approval of the Finance & Planning Department for filling up the aided posts. However this is a case where the post in question was filled up in pursuance of the permission granted by the Regional Joint Director as per the rules laid down in G.O.Ms.No.1, dated 01.01.1994 following due process of selection. At any rate, during the pendency of this writ petition the selection to the post in question was approved vide proceedings of the Regional Joint Director dated 22.11.1999. Having regard to the subsequent events, I am of the opinion that the ends of justice would be met if the petitioner school is granted liberty to make appropriate application through the respondent Nos.2 and 3 for clearance of the 1st respondent as required under G.O.Ms.No.76, dated 2.11.1999. If any such application is made within a period of four weeks from the date of receipt of this Court, the 1st respondent shall consider the same and grant the necessary clearance in the light of the approval already granted by the Regional Joint Director of School Education, Kadapa, as expeditiously as possible preferably within a period of eight (8) weeks from the date of receipt of such application. The Writ Petition is accordingly disposed of. No costs. _______________ G.ROHINI, J Dt.03.03.2010. PNV
