THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE GHULAM MOHAMMED & THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE K.G. SHANKAR WRIT PETITION NO : 5815 of 2011 Order: (Per Hon’ble Sri Justice Ghulam Mohammed) The petitioner filed the present writ petition seeking a writ of Certiorari to call for the records relating to and connected with H.R. Case No.9692 of 2010 and to declare the same as illegal and arbitrary. A consequential direction was also sought to set aside the proceedings issued by the respondents 2 and 3 in pursuance of the directions of the 1st respondent. The facts in brief are that the petitioner herein was initially appointed as Lecturer in the year 1990. Thereafter, he was promoted as Principal of SKBR Government Degree College, Macherla, Guntur District. According to the petitioner, as he was the senior most among the Principals, he was entrusted with the full Additional Charge of the post of Regional Joint Director of Collegiate Education, Guntur on 1.10.2008 and he has been discharging his duties as such. While so, the unofficial respondents 4 to 11 herein, filed a petition before the A.P. State Human Rights Commission, Hyderabad, the 1st respondent herein, stating that the petitioner is harassing them, pursuant to which, the 1st respondent through proceedings dated 19.10.2010, has directed the Principal Secretary to Government, Higher Education Department, Government of Andhra Pradesh, Hyderabad, the 2nd respondent herein, to conduct a detailed enquiry into the matter and submit a report to the Commission by 30.11.2010. Subsequently, a two men committee was appointed to conduct enquiry into the matter and the committee after conclusion of the enquiry, submitted its report. Basing on the report of the said Committee, the 2nd respondent through proceedings dated 17.2.2011 submitted proposals to the Government for transfer of the petitioner. Thereafter, the Commissioner of Collegiate Education, Andhra Pradesh, Hyderabad, the 3rd respondent herein, has issued proceedings dated 24.2.2011 discharging the petitioner from the additional charge of the post of Regional Joint Director, Collegiate Education, Guntur and directed him to report as Principal of Government Degree College, Macherla. Challenging these proceedings, the petitioner filed the present writ petition. Sri Y.V. Ravi Prasad, learned counsel for the petitioner vehemently contended that the 1st respondent has no jurisdiction to entertain the petition filed by the unofficial respondents and as such no enquiry can be ordered into the matter and since the impugned proceedings are issued by the third respondent in pursuance of the directions issued by the 1st respondent- Commission, they are liable to be set aside. On the other hand, learned Government Pleader for Services-I has supported the impugned order. Having heard the learned counsel for the parties and having gone through the record, we are of the view that the State Human Rights Commission has no authority or jurisdiction to entertain the disputes relating to service. In view of the fact that the impugned proceedings are issued by the respondents 2 and 3 in pursuance of the directions issued by the 1st respondent-Commission, the same are liable to be set aside. Hence, the writ petition is allowed and the impugned proceedings dated 17.2.2011 and 24.2.2011 issued by the respondents 2 and 3 are set aside. No costs. _______________________ GHULAM MOHAMMED,J DATE: 7.7.2011 _______________ K.G. SHANKAR,J pnb
