THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY WRIT PETITION NO.23198 OF 1998 B.Bikshapathi and six others …………………..Petitioners Vs. A.P.S.E.B., represented by its Secretary, Vidyut Sougha, Somajiguda, Hyderabad and another. ……………….Respondents. O R D E R: This writ petition is filed for a writ of Mandamus to direct the respondents to consider the claims of the petitioners for regularization and consequently to declare the action of respondents in not considering the case of the petitioners as arbitrary, illegal, unjust and contrary to the judgment in W.P.No.15355 of 1998, dated 11.06.1998 and also BPMS Nos.36 & 37. At the hearing, it is not disputed by the learned counsel for the petitioners that the Andhra Pradesh State Electricity Board ceases to exist in view of the provisions of the Andhra Pradesh Electricity Reform Act, 1998 and in its place, A.P.TRANSCO & A.P.GENCO came into existence and subsequently, several power distribution companies also were created. In the absence of successor entities being made parties to the writ petition, no relief can be granted to the petitioners in this writ petition. The writ petition is, therefore, dismissed with a liberty to the petitioners to file a fresh writ petition against the appropriate Company/Corporation, if they are so advised. No order as to costs. _________________________ C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY J., Dt.27.06.2007 tjs
