THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.RAMULU W.P.No.13932 of 2010 ORAL ORDER: The learned counsel appearing on either side fairly conceded that the issue that arises for consideration in this writ petition is squarely covered by the order passed by this Court in W.P.No.8090 of 2010 dated 12.4.2010 and therefore, this writ petition is also liable to be disposed of in terms of the said order. In view of the above, following the order passed in the above writ petition, this writ petition is disposed of declaring that the petitioner is entitled for continuity of service and to all the benefits of contract employment, which are extended to the similarly placed contract employees. Accordingly, the order of the appellate authority to the extent of treating petitioner’s reinstatement as a fresh engagement, stands quashed. It is also made clear that if there is any misconduct on the part of the petitioner, this order will not preclude the respondents from conducting inquiry and passing appropriate orders. There shall be no order as to costs. ______________ C.V.RAMULU, J Date: 18.6.2010 DA THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.RAMULU W.P.No.13932 of 2010 18.6.2010 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE OF ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.RAMULU W.P.No.13932 of 2010 Date: 18th June, 2010 Between: Loka Hari Venkata Ratnam ..
