The Hon’ble Sri Justice C.V.Nagarjuna Reddy Writ Petition No.13412 of 2005 Dated 9th July, 2010 Between: The Salvation Army, India Central Territory, Divisinal Headquarters, Dargamitta, Nellore …Petitioner And The Government of A.P., Rep. by its Secretary, School Education Department, Secretariat Buildings, Hyderabad, and 2 others. …Respondents Counsel for the petitioner: Mr.K.Ravinder Goud Counsel for the respondents: AGP for School Education The Court made the following: Order: This Writ Petition is filed for a Mandamus to declare the action of the respondents, in not allowing the petitioner to go ahead with the selection process as per the permission accorded by the competent authority, as illegal and arbitrary. The petitioner sought for a consequential direction to the respondents to permit its Management to commence the process of selection to fill up the 5 SGT posts in its schools. At the hearing, it is not disputed that the issues raised in this Writ Petition are squarely covered by judgment, dated 29-12-2006, in W.A.No.1578 of 2005 and batch, whereby the relief, similar to the one claimed in this Writ Petition, was granted. The learned Assistant Government Pleader for Education submitted that against the said judgment of the Division Bench, the State Government filed Special Leave Petitions before the Hon’ble Supreme Court and that the same are pending. The learned Assistant Government Pleader requested for deferring the hearing of this case to await the judgment of the Supreme Court. In my opinion, there is no need for awaiting the judgment of the Supreme Court because the operation of the judgment of the Division Bench has not been suspended or stayed by the Supreme Court. Therefore, as of now, the judgment in the said batch is holding the field. Following the said judgment, this Writ Petition is allowed with the direction that the reasons and directions contained therein shall form part of this order. C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY, J Dated 9th July, 2010 lur
