THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY Writ Petition No.21502 of 2010 ORDER: The petitioners are working as Female Nursing Orderlys in Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanam. Their grievance is that they are not being extended the benefit of completion of 16 years of service on par with the Last Grade Service employees. The benefit, which hitherto was being enjoyed by the petitioners and other similarly placed persons, is said to have been withdrawn on 08.09.2008. One of the members of the executive committee of the Devasthanam is said to have submitted a representation, dated 08.12.2008, in this regard. The petitioners complain that no action has been taken thereon by the respondents. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioners and the learned counsel for the respondents. On their own accord, the petitioners did not submit any representation. It was only a Member of the Executive Committee that submitted a representation. In a way, what he sated in his representation runs contrary to the decision taken by the Board, to which he is a party. Such a representation cannot be acted upon. The petitioners by themselves or through a properly constituted union can submit representation, if they are so advised. Therefore, the writ petition is dismissed, leaving it open to the petitioners to make a fresh representation by themselves or through their union. There shall be no order as to costs. __________ 13.09.2010 JSU THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY Writ Petition No.21502 of 2010 Date: 13.09.2010 JSU
