THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY DATED: 15-09-2005 WRIT PETITION No.19196 of 2005 Between: N.V.Ramana And others . . .Petitioner And The Commissioner of Endowments, Hyderabad, and another . . .Respondents THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.19196 of 2005 O R D E R: The petitioners were engaged as N.M.Rs. by Sri Veera Venkata Satyanarayana Swamy Vari Devasthanam, Annavaram, East Godavari District, in October, 1994. They are being paid remuneration at the rate of Rs.750/- per month. Their grievance is that several persons appointed on N.M.R. basis, have been extended the benefit of scales of pay and they were denied of such benefit. They seek appropriate directions in this regard. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioners, the learned Government Pleader for Endowments and the learned Standing Counsel appearing for the second respondent. Regularisation of services of N.M.Rs would depend upon the existence of vacancies as well as the budgetary provision of the institution. The question as to whether there exists adequate number of vacancies for regularization of services of the petitioners or whether the budgetary provisions permit of such a course, needs to be verified. The fact that some of the N.M.Rs were extended the benefit, by itself does not confer any right upon the petitioners. Further, the so called directions issued in the recent past for payment of wages at minimum of the scales are shrouded in controversy, and do not constitute any basis for the claims of petitioners. The petitioners are said to have submitted representations and they cannot be kept pending indefinitely. For the foregoing reasons, the writ petition is disposed of directing the second respondent to consider the cases of the petitioners, duly taking into account their length of service, their eligibility, availability of vacancies and funds and pass appropriate orders within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. There shall be no order as to costs. _________________________ (L.NARASIMHA REDDY, J) 15th SEPTEMBER, 2005. kvni
