HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE C.V. RAMULU WRIT PETITION No. 21546 of 1999 ORDER: This writ petition is filed seeking a Writ of Mandamus declaring the action of respondents 3 and 4 in giving breaks in service and in not paying the salary attached to the post held by the petitioner and also in not regularizing his services as illegal, arbitrary and discriminatory. While admitting the writ petition, this Court, by an order dated 14.10.1999 in WPMP.No.27014 of 1999, passed an interim order directing respondents 3 and 4 to continue the petitioner without giving any break in service. Now, a detailed counter affidavit is filed by the third respondent stating that the petitioner was originally engaged as Instructor for Office Management Course by the fourth respondent with effect from 01.11.1997 under Non-Governmental Organisations under Norwegian Agency for International Development (NORAD), which provided Support for Training and Employment Programme for Women (STEP) mainly for skill development. It is further stated that the training programme was conducted from 01.11.1997 to 31.10.1998 and 08.02.1999 to 07.02.2000 and its primary duty was to undertake economic upliftment of women in the State. It is stated that the petitioner was paid remuneration of Rs.2,500/- P.M. during the course period and was not engaged from 01.11.1998 to 07.02.1999 and again from 08.02.2000 onwards as there was no training programme sanctioned or financial assistance provided by NORAD, and, therefore, continuing the services of the petitioner by the fourth respondent does not arise. In view of the same, the petitioner is not in service as on today and, therefore, nothing survives for adjudication in the writ petition. The Writ Petition is, accordingly, closed. C.V.
