The Hon’ble Sri Justice K.C.Bhanu Writ Petition No.13565 of 2011 Between: M.Pochaiah ..... Petitioner AND 1.The Commissioner, Endowments Department, Tilak Road, Hyderabad and 2 others. .....Respondents The Court made the following: Order: This Writ Petition is filed for a Mandamus seeking a declaration that the inaction of respondent No.1, in considering the petitioner’s representation, dated 18-03- 2011 requesting him to continue in respondent No.2- temple is illegal and arbitrary. The petitioner was appointed as a Record Assistant in respondent No.3- temple and was, later, promoted as Junior Assistant on 18-06-2001. On 12-04-2005, he was transferred to respondent No.2- temple. While he was working as such, the Executive Officer of respondent No.2- temple issued proceedings in Rc.No.ESH/11/2010, dated 23-11-2010, suspending him from service. Thereafter, on 23-11-2010, respondent No.1- Commissioner of Endowments Department issued proceedings, dated 22-01- 2011, transferring the petitioner from respondent No.2- temple to respondent No.3- temple. When the petitioner went to join the duty, respondent No.3- temple did not permit him on the ground that the said temple is not in a position to pay the salary to the petitioner in view of its financial position. Therefore, the petitioner made representation, dated 18-03-2011, to respondent No.1 requesting to cancel the transfer orders and issue orders permitting him to work in respondent No.2- temple. The grievance of the petitioner is that no orders thereon have yet been passed. Inasmuch as the petitioner’s representation is pending consideration before respondent No.1- Commissioner, appropriate decision has to be taken by him. Therefore, respondent No.1 is directed to take appropriate decision on the petitioner’s representation, dated 18-03-2011 and pass appropriate orders, in accordance with law, within a period of four weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. The Writ Petition is accordingly disposed of. There shall be no order as to costs. ____________ (K.C.Bhanu, J) Date: 30th April, 2011 lur
