PETITIONERS AND The District Collector, Anantapur, Anantapur District & others. .....RESPONDENTS THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE RAMESH RANGANATHAN WRIT PETITION No. 5030 of 1995 O R D E R: Petitioners 1 to 24 are employees of the Primary Agricultural Co-operative Societies and are employed under respondents 5 to 17. They question the order of the second respondent, dated 15-02-1995, directing respondents 5 to 17 not to extend their monetary benefits and also the consequential order of the first respondent, dated 21-01-1995, keeping the resolution relating to the appointments of the petitioners made since 1984 onwards as per Special Bye-law 2(a) as illegal, arbitrary and in violation of principles of natural justice. While several contentions are raised in this regard, Sri K.Jaganmohan Reddy, learned counsel for the petitioners, would rely on a Division Bench judgment of this Court in W.P.Nos.5392 & 8500 of 1995, dated 06- 11-1997, in support of his submission that several other decaderised secretaries are continued in service while the petitioners are among those whose services were sought to be terminated. The writ petition is therefore disposed of permitting the petitioners to approach the second respondent and in case, any application is filed by the petitioners within four weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order, the second respondent shall examine the same and pass appropriate orders in accordance with law. No order as to costs. _______________ 27-02-2006 usd
