PETITIONER AND The General Manager (Operation), State Bank of India, Local Head Office, Bank Street, Hyderabad, and others. ....RESPONDENTS THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE J.CHELAMESWAR WRIT PETITION No.14681 OF 1996 O R D E R This writ petition is filed with a prayer as follows: “Hon’ble Court may be pleased to issue an appropriate Writ, order or direction, more particularly one in the nature of Writ of Mandamus directing the Respondents to restore the seniority by regularizing the services of the petitioner w.e.f. 14-5-1976 in the cadreof Messenger with all consequential benefits of fixation of pay, arrears of pay, seniority etc., and pass …” The petitioner claims that he was initially appointed in the respondent-bank as contingent Messenger on temporary basis in the year 1968 and continued as such till 1976 with intermittent breaks in service. The other details of the events that took place during the intermittent period may not be necessary, except stating that the petitioner eventually came to be appointed as permanent Messenger on 31.03.1992 and he was put under probation for a period of six months and finally confirmed in the services w.e.f. 31.03.1992 vide orders dated 22.01.1993. The petitioner now claims that his services have to be regularized w.e.f. 14.05.1976. Except making such claim, nothing is brought to the notice of this Court nor any material is placed before me as to what is the law under which such regularization has to be made and what are the service conditions of the respondent bank governing the post held by the petitioner. In the circumstances, I am of the opinion that the petitioner failed to establish any right seeking the relief as the one claimed in the writ petition. The writ petition is therefore dismissed. No costs. ----------------------------------- JUSTICE J.CHELAMESWAR 22nd AUGUST, 2006 PGS THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE J.CHELAMESWAR WRIT PETITION No.14681 OF 1996 22ND AUGUST, 2006
