HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE K.C.BHANU WRIT PETITION No.10103 of 2011 ORDER: The writ petition is filed seeking to issue a writ of Mandamus declaring the action of the respondents in not regularizing the services of the petitioners in the post of Attender as illegal and arbitrary. Learned counsel for the petitioners submitted that earlier, in Writ Petition No.13286 of 2007, which was filed by the petitioners herein, this Court passed an interim order, dated 26.06.2007, directing the respondents to consider the representations purported to have been filed by the petitioners seeking their regularization and pass appropriate orders within a time frame of four weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of that order. He further submitted that though the petitioners come within the eligibility criteria and the rules and regulations of G.O.Ms.No.212 (Finance and Planning) Department, dated 22.04.1994, their cases have not been considered by the respondents. Heard learned counsel for the respondents. Admittedly, the petitioners are working as Daily Wage workers for several years in Tribal Welfare Schools. The question as to whether the petitioners are entitled to regularization in the post of Attender or not, has to be considered in accordance with the guidelines and conditions mentioned in G.O.Ms.No.212 (Finance and Planning) Department, dated 22.04.1994 and the ratio laid down by the Supreme Court in A.Manjula Bhashini V. A.P.Women’s Coop Finance Corpn. Ltd[1], wherein it held as follows: “As a corollary, we hold that the declaration made by the Division Bench that all persons who completed 5 years’ service as on the date of coming into force of Act 27 of 1998 would be entitled to be considered for regularisation of their services is legally unsustainable and is liable to be set aside. In the result, the appeals filed by the employees (CAs Nos. 3702-07, 3709, 3710, 3721, 3733, 3734, 3737, 3742, 3744, 3748, 3749 and 3751 of 2006) are dismissed and those filed by the State Government and agencies/ instrumentalities of the State (CAs Nos. 3685, 3712-18, 3723, 3724, 3726-32, 3750 and 3752-55 of 2006) are allowed. The declaration made by the Division Bench that the ban on regularisation will be effective from 19-8-1998 i.e. the date on which Act 27 of 1998 came into force and that all persons who have completed 5 years’ service as on that date would be entitled to be considered for regularisation of service is set aside. It is, however, made clear that the daily-wage employees and others who are covered by Section 7 of the 1994 Act (amended) and whose services have not been regularised so far, shall be entitled to be considered for regularisation and their services shall be regularised subject to fulfilment of the conditions enumerated in the G.O. dated 22-4-1994. With a view to obviate further litigation on this issue, we direct the Government of Andhra Pradesh, its officers and agencies/instrumentalities of the State to complete the exercise for regularisation of the services of eligible employees within four months of the receipt/production of copy of this order, without being influenced by the fact that the application, writ petition or appeal filed by any such employee may have been dismissed by the Tribunal or the High Court or this Court. Since some of the appeals decided by this order relate to part-time employees, we direct that similar exercise be undertaken in their cases and completed within four months keeping in view the conditions enumerated in G.O. (P) No. 112 dated 23-7-1997.” Hence, the writ petition is disposed of, at the stage of admission, and the first respondent is hereby directed to consider the cases of the petitioners for regularization in accordance with G.O.Ms.No.212 (Finance and Planning) Department, dated 22.04.1994 and also the ratio laid down by the Supreme Court in A.Manjula Bhashini’s case (cited supra) on this aspect and pass appropriate orders, in accordance with law, within a period of three months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. However, there shall be no order as to costs. ___________________ JUSTICE K.C.BHANU 19th April 2011 dr [1] AIR 2009(8) SCC 431
