IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE, ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD (Special Original Jurisdiction) WEDNESDAY, THE TWENTY FIRST DAY OF JULY TWO THOUSAND AND TEN PRESENT THE HON'BLE MRS. JUSTICE T.MEENA KUMARI AND THE HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE GOPALA KRISHNA TAMADA WRIT PETITION NO : 24489 OF 2000 Between: The Chief Executive Officer, Zilla Parishad, Nizamabad ..... PETITIONER AND Md. Maqsood Hussain and another. .....RESPONDENTS The Court made the following : ORAL ORDER: (per THE HON’BLE MRS. JUSTICE T.MEENA KUMARI) Seeking a writ of certiorari to call for the records relating to the order dated 20.8.1998 passed in O.A. No. 7539 of 1996 by the Andhra Pradesh Administrative Tribunal, Hyderabad and to consequently set aside the same declaring that the first respondent is not entitled to the relief, respondent in the O.A. filed this writ petition. The first respondent herein was appointed as Part Time Farrash by the Special Officer, Yellareddy Panchayath Samithi on 10.4.1976 and he has been discharging duties since then. It is his case that though he has completed 20 years of service, his case was not considered by the District Selection Committee, inasmuch as at the time of his joining service, he was not a major. It is further his case that, in terms of G.O. Ms. No.336 dated 1.6.1995, his case needs consideration in preference of others being existing Part Time employee. The Tribunal having regard to the fact that the respondent has rendered more than 18 years of service after attaining majority, has directed the petitioner herein to consider his case for regularization of services in terms of G.O. Ms. No.112 dated 23.7.1997 before any of his juniors’ services are regularized in terms of GO Ms. No. 112 dated 23.7.1997. Aggrieved thereby, the respondent in the said O.A. filed the present writ petition. It is not in dispute that the first respondent was appointed on 21.4.1976, when he was a minor. It is also an admitted fact that he has completed more than 18 years of service after attaining majority. Therefore, in that view of the matter, the Tribunal has rightly directed the petitioner herein to consider the case of the respondent for regularization of his services before any of his juniors’ services are regularized in terms of GO Ms. No. 112 dated 23.7.1997. We do not see any illegality in the order impugned. Consequently, the writ petition fails and is accordingly dismissed. No order as to costs. ____________________ Justice T.Meena Kumari _________________________ Justice Gopala Krishna Tamada July 21, 2010 MAS
