THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.11657 of 2009 ORDER: The petitioners are working as Assistant Engineers in the Andhra Pradesh State Housing Corporation Limited (for short ‘the Corporation’). They feel aggrieved by the proceedings, dated 04.06.2009, through which the Corporation made certain in-charge arrangements for the post of Deputy Executive Engineers. The petitioners contend that the respondents did not finalize the seniority list of Assistant Engineers and in-charge arrangements are being made indiscriminately without following the seniority. While admitting the writ petition, this Court passed an order, dated 16.07.2009, directing that the in-charge arrangement shall not be for a period exceeding six months and it shall be reviewed from time to time. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioners and the learned counsel for the respondents. The grievance of the petitioners was against the action of the respondents in making in-charge arrangements without following the rule of seniority. By the time the writ petition was filed, the seniority list for the post of Assistant Engineers was not finalized. The learned Standing Counsel has placed before this Court, a copy of the proceedings, dated 29.05.2010, through which the seniority list for the post of Assistant Engineers is finalized. Once the seniority list is finalized, either regular appointment for the post of Deputy Executive Engineers has to be made or in case in- charge arrangements are to be made, the seniority list must be followed. Therefore, the writ petition is disposed of directing that the respondents shall not make ad hoc arrangements. The regular appointments or in-charge arrangements for the post of Deputy Executive Engineers shall be made strictly in accordance with the seniority for the post of Assistant Engineers. There shall be no order as to costs. _______________________ L.NARASIMHA REDDY,J Dt: 29.11.2010. kdl
