HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE V.ESWARAIAH HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE R.SUBHASH REDDY AND HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE VILAS V.AFZULPURKAR W.P.No.35281 of 1998 MONDAY, THE 24th DAY OF NOVEMBER, 2009 Between: Dr. A. Amruthavalli. ….PETITIONER and The Commissioner for Collegiate Education, Government of A.P., Hyderabad and others …RESPONDENTS HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE V.ESWARAIAH HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE R.SUBHASH REDDY AND HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE VILAS V.AFZULPURKAR W.P.No.35281 of 1998 ORDER: (PER SRI JUSTICE R.SUBHASH REDDY) In this writ petition, the petitioner seeks a writ of Mandamus, declaring the proceedings, dated 15.10.1998, issued by the 1st respondent in L.Dis.No.272/PC.II-1/98, as arbitrary and illegal, and to direct the respondents to regularize her Service as a Lecturer in Botany in the 3rd respondent-college. Heard the learned counsel for petitioner and the learned Government Pleader for Higher Education. The Government has issued guidelines for regularization of Services of Part-time Lecturers working in Private Aided Degree/Junior colleges, vide G.O.Ms.No.328 Education (CE-III) Department, dated 15.10.1997. As per the conditions notified in the said G.O., to get the benefit of regularization, a part-time Lecturer should have put-in a Service of 3 academic years as on 30.07.1991 or 5 academic years as on 25.11.1993, as the case may be, and also must be in service as on the date of issuance of those orders. It was also provided in the said G.O. that, as 120 days are considered to be reasonable number of working days for an academic year, the Part-time Lecturers/Junior Lecturers should have put-in 360 working days as on 30.07.1991 and 600 working days as on 25.11.1993, and that the service put up by them in more than one private aided college with or without breaks may be taken into account for reckoning of service. The petitioner claims that when the 3rd respondent-college sent proposals for regularization of Service of the petitioner along with some others, the 1st respondent-Commissioner for Collegiate Education, by his proceedings, dated 14.04.1998, rejected the same. Thereafter, the petitioner made a representation stating that she worked in the 3rd respondent-college in an aided vacancy from December 1984 to January 1985. Pursuant to the said representation, the 3rd respondent again sent proposals for regularization of her Service. On receipt of such proposal, the 2nd respondent was deputed to conduct inquiry by verifying records in the 3rd respondent-college. The said authority, after conducting inquiry, reported that the information regarding the petitioner’s working in the 3rd respondent-college from December 1984 to January 1985, has not been reflected in any of the college records. Based on the report submitted by the 2nd respondent, the 1st respondent, by proceedings in L.Dis.No.272/PC.II-1/98, dated 15.10.1998, confirmed the earlier orders, dated 13.04.1998, and rejected the claim of the petitioner for regularization of her Service. Though it is contended by the learned counsel for petitioner that if the said Service from December 1984 to January 1985 is taken into consideration, the petitioner would have fulfilled the criteria of minimum required Service for regularization as notified in G.O.Ms.No.328, dated 15.10.1997, but, as no further material is placed before this Court to establish the said claim, and as the claim of the petitioner has already been inquired into by the 2nd respondent, and no record to that effect, was available in the 3rd respondent college, the claim of the petitioner is liable to be rejected. In that view of the matter, the petitioner is not entitled for the relief sought for in this writ petition. For the aforesaid reasons, the writ petition is devoid of merit and it is accordingly dismissed. It is needless to mention that the directions issued by a Full Bench of this Court, in its order, dated 24.11.2009, while dismissing W.P.No.23485 of 2007 and batch, will operate in this case also. No order as to costs. ___________________ V.ESWARAIAH, J _______________________ R.SUBHASH REDDY, J ___________________________ VILAS V.AFZULPURKAR,J 24th November 2009 CVRK
