The learned single Judge also observed that if already the services of the respondents-writ petitioners were considered for regular absorption, the said position may not be disturbed. It has been contended by the learned counsel appearing for the appellants- management that the respondents-writ petitioners were never in the service of the Tirumala Tirupathi Devasthanams (TTD). An additional affidavit of Sri N.Muktheswara Rao, IAS., in-charge Conservator of Forests, and also the Joint Executive Officer of TTD has been filed by the appellants-management stating that respondents-writ petitioners were never in the service of TTD and that the petty contractors deployed for execution of works in forest wing would have engaged labourers on petty contract system. It is also stated in the affidavit that no list of such labourers was furnished to the appellants- management and no wages were paid by it. Learned counsel for the respondents-writ petitioners submitted that he has no instructions from the respondents-writ petitioners in this matter. But, however, in view of the statement made in the affidavit that the respondents-writ petitioners were never in the service of the TTD, the directions issued by the learned single Judge cannot be sustained. Accordingly, the writ appeal is allowed. No costs.
