Counsel for the Petitioner: MR.J.ASHVINI KUMAR Counsel for the Respondent No.1: GP FOR ENDOWMENTS Counsel for the Respondent No.2: Smt S.Indrani The Court made the following Order : W.P. No : 11667 of 2004 The 1st and 2nd petitioners were appointed as Attenders and 3rd petitioner was appointed as Night Watchman/Ghurka in the year 2002 and the 4th petitioner was appointed as Sweeper in 2nd respondent-temple in the year 2003. The Trust Board passed resolution recommending the absorption of the writ petitioners in the approved cadre because certain regular vacancies were available. Basing on the said resolution, the 1st respondent has to pass appropriate orders and therefore, 2nd respondent addressed a letter to the 1st respondent recommending to regularize the services of the petitioners and also to fix their remuneration. The learned counsel for the petitioners contended that in spite of the acceptance by the Managing Committee and the recommendations made by the 2nd respondent- temple, the 1st respondent has not passed any orders, even though clear vacancies are available in the 2nd respondent- temple. The learned Standing counsel for the respondents contended that the same has to be considered by the first respondent as per law. It is not in dispute that as per the letter of the Assistant Commissioner of the respondent-temple, the petitioners were appointed in accordance with the cadre strength and the matter was placed before the Trust Board. The Trust Board has passed resolution to continue the petitioners for a further period because of necessity of work in the temple. Basing on the above resolution, the Assistant Commissioner recommended the case of the petitioners for extension of period to work in the temple and as such appropriate orders have to be passed by the first respondent in accordance with law. Therefore, the writ petition is disposed of directing the 1st respondent to pass appropriate orders basing on the letter addressed by the Assistant Commissioner of the respondent-temple in RC.No.Nil/2004, dated 8-2-2004. In the circumstances no costs. ___________ 13-07-2004 rkk/DR To 1 The Regional Joint commissioner Endowments Department at Kakinada. 2 The Executive Officer Sri Venkateswara Sw amy Temple Tirumalagiri Jaggayyapeta Mandal, Krishna District. 3.
