IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE, ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD (Special Original Jurisdiction) PRESENT THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE R.SUBHASH REDDY WRIT PETITION NO : 22690 of 2006 Dated 20th December, 2006 Between B.Venugopal Reddy …Petitioner and Government of AP, rep. By its Secretary, Municipal Administration and Urban Development Department, Secretariat, Hyderabad and ors …Respondent. THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE R.SUBHASH REDDY WRIT PETITION NO : 22690 of 2006 ORDER: The petitioner, an Assistant Divisional Engineer (Civil) in the Office of the second respondent-AP TRANSCO, was sent on deputation to the third respondent-Municipal Corporation of Guntur as Deputy Executive Engineer vide order dated 30-06-2005 in G.O.Rt.No. 982, for a period of one year. It is the case of the petitioner that though orders dated 30-6-2005 were issued, but there was no vacancy till 12- 07-2006. It is the grievance of the petitioner that as much as the petitioner had been permitted to join on deputation on 12-07-2006, the respondents 1 and 2 ought to have extended the period of deputation. When the matter is called to day, the learned Counsel appearing for the first respondent has produced a copy of the order dated 4-11- 2006 in Memo No.5999/C/2006-1 issued by the first respondent, wherein the request of the petitioner for extension of period of deputation was rejected. The period of deputation has to be extended or not is for the employer and the petitioner will not have any right to seek extension of deputation. In that view of the matter, I do not see any merit in this Writ Petition. The Writ Petition is dismissed accordingly. No order as to costs. ---------------------------------- JUSTICE R.
