THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE R. SUBHASH REDDY WRIT PETITION No. 4901 of 2010 O R D E R: Heard learned counsel for the petitioner, learned Government Pleader for Endowments and Sri Ch. Satish Kumar, learned Standing Counsel for Respondents 3 and 4. In this Writ Petition, the petitioner has questioned Proceedings No. 19/SSRT/2009, dated 18.12.2009 issued by the 3rd respondent Temple. The petitioner, who was the Archaka in the 3rd respondent Temple, was stated to have submitted his resignation on 09.02.2006 which was accepted by the Trust Board of the Temple on 08.03.2006 and the said acceptance was conveyed to the petitioner, by the letter dated 29.03.2006. On the ground that the resignation was obtained under coercion, the petitioner filed Writ Petition No. 6972 of 2006, wherein interim stay was granted, but subsequently, on filing W.V.M.P. No. 964 of 2006 by the 3rd respondent Temple, this Court, by order dated 23.11.2006, vacated the interim order. Thereafter, it is stated that subsequently, the Writ Petition was withdrawn by the petitioner. As the petitioner has been continued in service in view of the interim order passed by this Court in Writ Petition No. 6972 of 2006, the impugned order discontinuing his services, was passed based on the instructions issued by the Commissioner, dated 10.12.2009. The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that since the petitioner was allowed to join duty by the Temple, by its order dated 04.08.2008, the resignation said to have been submitted by him has no effect. However, it is to be noted that the acceptance of the resignation was under challenge before this Court in the above said Writ Petition and that the interim order granted therein was vacated at the instance of the Temple. Subsequently, the Writ Petition was also withdrawn by the petitioner. In view of the fact that the earlier Writ Petition was withdrawn by the petitioner, the communication accepting his resignation has become final. Though the petitioner was allowed to discharge the duties for sometime, subsequently, the Commissioner of Endowments, by letter dated 10.12.2009, directed termination of his services. Therefore, the impugned proceedings were issued for discontinuing the petitioner from service. The mere fact that the petitioner was allowed to join duty on 04.10.2008, in the absence of any fresh appointments, will not give any right to him so as to enter the service. In that view of the matter, I am of the opinion that the petitioner has no right to continue in service. I do not find any merit in the Writ Petition and it is accordingly dismissed. No costs. ---------------------------- (R. SUBHASH REDDY, J) 9th March 2010 ksld
