Counsel for the Petitioner: Mr.N.GURU GOPAL Counsel for the Respondent No1.: GP FOR ENDOWMENTS The Court made the following : THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V. RAMULU W.P.No.19511 of 2008 ORAL ORDER: This writ petition is ﬁled seeking a Mandamus declaring the action of the 1st respondent in passing the Order in Rc.No.A2/5171/2008, dated 28-8-2008 as arbitrary and illegal. Petitioner as well as 2nd respondent are working as Junior Assistants in the temples, which are classiﬁed under Section 6(b) of the A.P. Charitable and Hindu Religious Institutions and Endowments Act,1987, located in Guntur town. According to the petitioner, he has been deputed from 3rd respondent-temple to 4th respondent-temple as Junior Assistant and the 2nd respondent was deputed from 4th respondent-temple to 3rd respondent-temple. Though various grounds are raised, the main grievance of the petitioner appears to be, on his deputation to the 4th respondent-temple, he may not be able to draw salary regularly in view of ﬁnancial position of the 4th respondent-Temple and, therefore, it will cause hardship to him. Whereas, learned Government Pleader appearing for respondents 1,2 and 4 states that there is no dearth of funds as of now, since the Government has introduced a pooling system for payment of salaries to the temple-employees to obviate their difficulties. Even otherwise, deputation of the petitioner is to the 4th respondent-temple, which is also located in the very Guntur town and the 2nd respondent was also deputed to 3rd respondent temple located in the Guntur town. Therefore, no much hardship can be caused to the petitioner. It is his apprehension that on his deputation to the 4th respondent- temple, he may not be able to draw salary regularly. Under the above circumstances, while vacating the interim order passed on 8-9-2008, respondents 1 and 4 are directed to arrange for payment of salary to the petitioner regularly, as per his eligibility, so long as he is there on deputation to 4th respondent-temple. With the above direction, the writ petition is disposed of. No order as to costs. 22-9-2008 prk
