THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE N.V. RAMANA W.P. No. 13085 of 2006 Oral Order: The petitioners state that in pursuance of the orders dated 27.01.2003 of the 4th respondent, the petitioners exercised their option and submitted their willingness to work on deputation for a period of 5 years, and accordingly, the respondents issued deputation orders to the petitioners and since 27.01.2003 they have been working under the control of the 3rd respondent. The case of the petitioners is that though the respondents initially offered deputation for a period of 5 years, subsequently they issued proceedings granting deputation till 30.06.2006 only, and the first respondent issued letter dated 22.04.2006 requesting all the Chief Engineers located in various addresses to take necessary action to repatriate the Des/ADEs/Aes/AAEs to their parent departments since their deputation period is expiring on 30.06.2006. The petitioners state that they made representations to the respondents in the month of April, 2006 requesting them to continue their deputation till 31.12.2007, and though the 2nd respondent recommended extension of their deputation period for a further period of one and a half year, the 1st respondent has not considered the same so far, and in the meanwhile, they are sought to be repatriated. Hence, they filed the present writ petition. Inasmuch as the 2nd respondent, namely Chief Engineer, O & M, KTPS, V Stage, is said to have recommended the retention of the petitioners at the present place, and having regard to the fact that representations of the petitioners are said to be pending consideration before the 1st respondent, namely The Chief General Manager (Administration), APPGCL, Vidyut Soudha, Hyderabad, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the writ petition with the following direction. The 1st respondent, namely the Chief General Manager (Administration), APPGCL, Vidyut Soudha, Hyderabad is directed to consider and dispose of the representations of the petitioners and pass appropriate orders thereon in the light of the recommendations made by 2nd respondent, within a period of one week from today. Till then, the order dated 22.04.2006 of the 1st respondent shall not be implemented. Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of. No costs. __________________ N.V. RAMANA, J.
