THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE SANJAY KUMAR WRIT PETITION NO.17401 OF 2001 DATED 26TH NOVEMBER, 2010 BETWEEN V.Gopaiah … Petitioner And The Govt. of Andhra Pradesh rep. by Its Prl. Secretary for Higher Education, Secretariat Building, Hyderabad. And Others. … Respondents THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE SANJAY KUMAR WRIT PETITION NO.17401 OF 2001 ORDER: The petitioner seeks consideration of his representation dated 04.08.2001 and a consequential direction to the respondents to regularize his services in the Padmasri Dr.B.V.Raju Institute of Technology, Narsapur, Medak District, the fourth respondent herein, as a Systems Programmer. In that context, he assailed the proceedings dated 09.07.2001 and 16.07.2001 passed by the fourth respondent whereby he was given three months notice as there was no vacancy in the post of Systems Programmer in the said Institute. This Court, in the first instance, directed status quo as obtaining on 21.08.2001 to be maintained. However, upon the vacate stay application filed by the fourth respondent Institute, the interim order was vacated by order dated 05.04.2002. The said order reflects that the learned Judge took note of the fact that the petitioner had only been appointed on ad hoc basis and he had also been given three months notice as required. The said order was assailed by the petitioner in Writ Appeal No.923 of 2002. A Division Bench of this Court, while dismissing the writ appeal on 14.05.2002, observed that the proceedings impugned in the writ petition were passed after issuing three months notice and the petitioner was appointed only on ad hoc basis and opined that there was no illegality in the same. In effect, the challenge by the petitioner to the proceedings impugned stood settled. That being so, it is not open to the petitioner to seek consideration of his representation at this late stage. The Writ Petition is accordingly dismissed. No costs. ____________________ SANJAY KUMAR, J. 26TH NOVEMBER, 2010. VGSR
