THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE RAMESH RANGANATHAN W.P. NO. 11258 of 1998 DATED: 04-07-2006 Between:- 1) Upputuri Lumumba 2) B. Hari Prasada Rao 3) Ch. Hanumayamma. …PETITIONERS And 1) The Government of A.P. represented by its Principal Secretary, Education Department, Secretariate, Hyderabad and 4 others. ..RESPONDENTS THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE RAMESH RANGANATHAN W.P. NO. 11258 of 1998 O R D E R The relief sought for in this writ petition is to declare the action of the respondents, in not regularizing the petitioners’ services even though they had put in more than 10 of years service and in terminating their services though they were selected after going through the process of selection, as arbitrary and illegal. Learned Government Pleader for School Education would place before this Court a copy of the letter dated 01-07-2007 of the District Educational Officer, Guntur, wherein it is stated that pursuant to the interim orders passed in this writ petition, the Correspondent of the school had continued the petitioners in their respective posts, that the school in which the petitioners were working was already closed during the year 2003-2004 as per the requisition made by the Management and that the school building was handed over to the Zilla Parishad authorities as per Government Memo dated 17.12.2003 without staff and without any compensation. It is also stated that the school in which the petitioners earlier worked was an unaided school and that the petitioners were also unapproved candidates. In view of the fact that the petitioners were working in unaided posts in a private unaided institution, which itself was subsequently closed in the year 2003-2004 and only the school building without the staff was handed over to the Zilla Parishad authorities, the cause in this writ petition does not survive. The writ petition is, accordingly, dismissed. However, in the circumstances, without costs. __________________________ RAMESH RANGANATHAN, J Dated: 04-07-2007 Vp
