THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.25253 of 2005 DATED: 01-02-2006 Between: A.Laxman . . .Petitioner And A.P. Social Welfare Residential School Society, Hyderabad, and others . . .Respondents THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.25253 of 2005 O R D E R: The petitioner states that he has been engaged as part-time Electrician in the Andhra Pradesh Social Welfare Residential School at Mallapur of Karimnagar District, since 1996. He states that he is being paid the remuneration @ Rs.1,000/- per month. He claims to have requested the respondents herein to appoint him on regular basis and complains that no action has been taken thereon. In the counter-affidavit filed on behalf of the respondents, it is stated that the petitioner was not appointed on regular basis and in fact, a Plumber-cum- Electrician of the school was attending to the duties, till he retired on 09-07- 2003. It is pleaded that the petitioner, who used to accompany the regular employee, has been asked to attend to the intermittent works, now and then, after the retirement of the regular Plumber-cum-Electrician. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and learned Standing Counsel for the respondents. There is nothing on record to disclose that the petitioner has been issued orders of appointment whether on adhoc or part-time basis. It is true that the petitioner was engaged, for attending to some works in the school and in fact, the respondents fairly admitted such fact. Mere engagement of the petitioner for attending to some electrical works in the school premises, does not, by itself, confer any right on the petitioner to be regularized straight away. As and when the respondents undertake the exercise of filling up the posts of Plumber-cum- Electrician, the case of the petitioner can also be considered, in case he fulfils the requisite qualifications. Till such time, if the respondents do not find any plausible objection for engaging the petitioner, they shall continue to avail the services of the petitioner. For the foregoing reasons, the writ petition is disposed of, directing that the case of the petitioner shall be considered as and when the respondents take steps to fill up the vacancy of Plumber-cum-Electrician in the fifth respondent school and till such time, they shall consider the feasibility of engaging the services of the petitioner subject to the permissible terms, in case the work of the petitioner is found to be satisfactory. There shall be no order as to costs. _________________________ (L.NARASIMHA REDDY, J) 1st FEBRUARY, 2006. kvni
