THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE N.V. RAMANA Writ Petition No. 6668 of 2007 Date: 03.04.2007 Between: K. Prem Kumar. .... PETITIONER AND Sri Bheemalingeswara Swamy Temple, Narasaraopet, Guntur District, rep. by its Executive Officer and others. .....RESPONDENTS THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE N.V. RAMANA Writ Petition No. 6668 of 2007 Order: Questioning the action of the 1st respondent in not extending the pay scales in conformity with G.O.Ms.No.261, Revenue (Endts.I) Department, dated 20.05.2002, and consequent revised pay scales, as per the proceedings, dated 19.05.2006 of the Commissioner of Endowments, the present writ petition is filed. 2. The petitioner was appointed as Archaka in the 1st respondent temple on 23.09.2004, on a pay scale of Rs.1400- 2710. While so, as per G.O.Ms.No.261, dated 20.05.2002, the pay scale of Rs.1400-2730 was revised as Rs.3290-6550. Thereafter, the Commissioner of Endowments further revised the pay scale of Archaka from Rs. 3290-6550 to Rs.4825-7570. The petitioner states that though the Archakas, who are juniors to him, are drawing the pay scale in conformity with the proceedings of the Commissioner of Endowments, dated 26.04.2006, the petitioner is still drawing meager salary, as was fixed in the year 2001. Therefore, he made representations dated 25.10.2006 and 31.01.2007 to the 1st respondent, but no orders thereon have been passed. Hence, he filed the present writ petition. 3. Since the representations dated 25.10.2006 and 31.01.2007 of the petitioner are said to be pending consideration before the 1st respondent, instead of keeping the writ petition pending, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the same with the following direction. The 1st respondent is directed to consider the representations dated 25.10.2006 and 31.01.2007 of the petitioner and pass appropriate orders in accordance with law, expeditiously. The Writ Petition is accordingly disposed of. No costs. ________________ N.V. RAMANA, J. Date: 03.04.2007 Note: Issue CC by three days. (Bo) sj
