THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE S.ANANDA REDDY Writ Petition No.18636 of 2005 23-08-2005 Between: 1.V.V.Raghu Kumar and others ... PETITONERS AND 1. Integrated Tribal Development Agency, rep. By its Project Officer, Rampachodavaram, East Godavari District and others. .....RESPONDENTS THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE S.ANANDA REDDY Writ Petition No.18636 of 2005 ORDER: This writ petition is filed seeking a direction to the respondents to consider the cases of the petitioners for regularisation of their services as teachers in the Government Tribal Welfare Ashram Schools situated in East Godavari District. It is stated that the petitioners were appointed as teachers in the year 2002 on contract basis and in fact they were appointed after giving notice calling for applications for filling up the posts in agency area and after regular process of selection. However, while giving appointments, it is stated that they were appointed on contract basis with a consolidated pay of Rs.5,000/- per month, even though they are entitled for regular scale of pay. Now, the grievance of the petitioners is that the respondents are proposing to terminate their services though there are regular vacancies available. Therefore, they sought for a direction to the respondents to regularise their services against the vacancies available. Heard both sides and considered the material on record. A Division Bench of this Court while disposing of a writ appeal filed by similarly placed persons passed the following order: “But, however, without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case of the petitioner, we modify the order of the learned single Judge as indicated below: The writ petitioner is at liberty to submit his representation to the respondents-authorities for the relief that is sought for in the writ petition and the respondents-authorities are in turn directed to consider the same and pass appropriate orders in accordance with the provision of law.” This writ petition is also identical to that of the writ appeal disposed of by the Division Bench. Hence, this writ petition is also disposed of with the same directions as extracted hereinabove. No costs. _______________ 23.08.2005 VGB
