IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE, ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE NOOTY RAMAMOHANA RAO WRIT PETITION NO : 15722 of 1998 DATED: 29.6.2007 Between: Yada Venugopala Rao & ors petitioners And A.P.State Electricity Board Rep by its Member Secretary At Vidyuth Soudha Somajiguda, Hyderabad & ors Respondents THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE NOOTY RAMAMOHANA RAO WRIT PETITION NO : 15722 of 1998 ORAL ORDER: This writ petition has been filed by four petitioners seeking directions that the action of the respondent in not regularizing their services in terms of B.P. Ms. No. 36 dated 18.5.1997 as illegal. The case of the petitioners is that they were working as village electricity workers and on that basis they have made a claim for appointment to the post of Junior Linemen. It has been stated that on 2.11.1997 interviews were conducted for filling up various posts of junior linemen and eligible village electricity workers have been considered. The writ petitioners were not selected in those interviews. The writ petitioners were also served with a detailed speaking order on 20th August, 1998 indicating the reasons as to why their services cannot be regularized by the Electricity Board. In fact, the first petitioner has challenged the legality and validity of the orders passed on 20th August,1998 by instituting W.P No. 18945 of 1999. That writ petition came to be considered by this Court and by order dated 17th September, 1999 is dismissed. The first petitioner has again instituted W.P. No. 22634 of 1999 which is still pending. Therefore I do not find any merit in the present writ petition and if the writ petitioners are aggrieved by the orders passed by the Board on 20th August, 1998 disclosing to them the reasons why their cases cannot be considered for regularization, they have got to be called in question independently. In this view of the matter, the present writ petition is dismissed. However without costs. ________________________ NOOTY RAMAMOHANA RAO,J Dated: 29.6.2007 Tvk THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE NOOTY RAMAMOHANA RAO WRIT PETITION NO : 15722 of 1998 DATED: 29.6.2007
