THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE GHULAM MOHAMMED AND THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE SANJAY KUMAR WRIT APPEAL NO.1019 OF 2000 DATED 16TH AUGUST, 2011 BETWEEN The Tirumala Tirupathi Devasthanams, Tirupathi, Rep. by its Executive Officer and others. …Appellants And K.Veera Narayana and another. …Respondents THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE GHULAM MOHAMMED AND THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE SANJAY KUMAR WRIT APPEAL NO.1019 OF 2000 J U D G M E N T (Per SK,J) The Tirumala Tirupathi Devasthanams filed this appeal aggrieved by the order dated 28.07.2000 passed in Writ Petition No.14578 of 1996 whereby it was directed to regularize the service of the respondent/writ petitioner as a Lecturer in Flute in S.V.College of Music and Dance, Tirupati, and to pay him the time-scale of pay applicable to the said post from 01.08.2000. In the light of the Judgment of the Supreme Court in A.MANJULA BHASHINI V/s. M.D., A.P.WOMEN’S CO-OPERATIVE FINANCE CORPN. LTD.[1], it is clear that the cut-off date prescribed under G.O.Ms.No.212 dated 22.04.1994, that is, 25.11.1993, has to be taken into account for extending the benefit of regularization of service to such employees who had completed five years in service by that date. The respondent/writ petitioner was appointed as a Flute Lecturer only on 02.12.1991 and therefore did not fulfill the above requirement to aspire for the benefits of G.O.Ms.No.212 dated 22.04.1994. The direction in the writ petition to regularize his services would therefore fall foul of the judicial dicta in A.MANJULA BHASHINI and would not be in keeping with the provisions of G.O.Ms.No.212 dated 22.04.1994. The order under appeal is accordingly set aside and the writ appeal is allowed. No order as to costs. __________________________ GHULAM MOHAMMED, J. ____________________ SANJAY KUMAR, J. 16TH AUGUST, 2011. PGS/VGSR [1] 2009 (5) ALD 58 (SC)
