THE HON’BLE SMT. JUSTICE T. MEENA KUMARI and THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE G. CHANDRAIAH W.P. No. 27216 of 2005 AND W.P. No. 11527 of 2006 COMMON ORDER: (Per the Hon’ble Smt. Justice T. Meena Kumari) These two writ petitions are filed against the common order dated 11.2.2003 passed by the A.P. Administrative Tribunal in O.A. Nos. 2014 of 1997 and 6293 of 1997 respectively. Since the issue involved in these two writ petitions is one and the same, they are disposed of by this common order. Heard the learned counsel for the parties and perused the material available on record. The 1st respondent in both these writ petitions filed O.A. Nos. 2014 of 1997 seeking a declaration that she is entitled to continue as Dress Making Instructress under the control of respondents therein with all consequential benefits by holding the action of the respondents in surrendering the 1st respondent – applicant to Zilla Parishad vide Proc.B/253/95 dated 23.8.1996. She also filed O.A. No. 6293 of 1997 to quash the Proceedings No. B6/6558/93 dated 9.9.1997 issued by the petitioner herein read with Proceedings No. A/461/96-1 dated 30.9.1997. The Tribunal allowed both the O.As., and directed the respondents to consider reposting of the applicant in any one of the vacancies as per her qualification and eligibility and also equivalence of the posts she holds on the same terms and conditions which she was holding as on 23.8.1996 when she was relieved by the M.P. and surrendered to Z.P. Aggrieved, the Chief Executive Engineer, Zilla Parishad, Karimnagar filed these writ petitions. It is contended by the learned counsel appearing for the petitioner that because of paucity of funds the Zilla Parishad is not in a position to accommodate the respondent No.1. But, the same is opposed by the learned counsel for the respondent No.1 stating that there are some vacancies under the control of the petitioner and the respondent No.1 is entitled to be accommodated in those vacancies as she has put in more than 18 years of service. As the learned counsel for the respondent No.1 fairly submitted that respondent No.1 may be accommodated in any of the alternative equivalent post as per her eligibility, we are not in agreement with the contention of the learned counsel for the petitioner that she has to go for DSC at this stage. Having perused the material available on record and the order passed by the Tribunal we are of the considered view that as the respondent No.1 has put it more than 18 years of service and that she was a regular employee and was granted 10 years scale also, equity requires that she is accommodated in any of the vacancies in Zilla Parishad. Therefore, we do not interfere with the orders passed by Tribunal directing the petitioner herein to issue orders. The Tribunal further directed to issue orders within a period of one month from the date of receipt of a copy of that order. However, as the writ petitions were pending, we extend the period and direct the petitioner to give posting orders to respondent No.1, if not already done, within a period of three months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. The writ petitions are accordingly disposed of with the above directions. T. MEENA KUMARI, J. G. CHANDRAIAH, J. Date: 03-07-2007. MVB.
