THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.8529 of 2010 ORDER: The petitioner claims to be the founder family trustee of Sri Venkateswara Swamy Devasthanam, Chikkadpalli. Respondent No.1 passed an order directing the Temple administration to grant scale of pay to respondent No.2 herein, who is working as an Auto Driver. The petitioner challenges the same by filing W.P.No.14619 of 2008. The writ petition was disposed of on 03.12.2008 directing that it shall be open to the petitioner as well as respondent No.2 to make a representation to respondent No.1 as regards grant of scale of pay. Accordingly, the petitioner made a representation. Respondent No.1 passed an order, dated 07.01.2010 reiterating his earlier orders on the ground that the petitioner did not appear before him and was seeking adjournment. The same is challenged in this writ petition. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner, the learned Government Pleader for Endowments for respondent No.1 and the learned counsel for respondent No.2, who took notice, at the stage of admission. There was a specific direction by this Court to respondent No.1 to re-consider the matter and pass appropriate orders, duly taking into account the representation that may be made by the petitioner and respondent No.2. The petitioner has also made representation and the matter was being adjourned from time to time. It appears that the petitioner sought adjournment on the ground that he is seeking review of the order passed by this Court. In case respondent No.1 was not inclined to grant adjournment, he ought to have informed the petitioner and insisted on his appearance. However, he has proceeded to decide the matter and affirmed the order passed by him earlier. There is a clear violation of the order passed by this Court in W.P.No.14619 of 2008. Hence, the writ petition is allowed and the order, dated 07.01.2010 is set aside. Respondent No.1 is directed to pass fresh orders in accordance with law. There shall be no order as to costs. _____________________ L.NARASIMHA REDDY,J Dt:16.04.2010 kdl
