THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE G.CHANDRAIAH WRIT PETITION NO. 29898 OF 2011 Date: 07-12-2011 Between: Smt.K.Savitri .. Petitioner And The Government of A.P. Rep. by its Principal Secretary, Revenue (Endowments-I) Department, Secretariat, Hyderabad and 2 others .. Respondents The Court made the following: ORDER: The writ petition is ﬁled by the petitioner seeking for issuance of writ of mandamus declaring the action of the respondents in not regularizing the services of the petitioner, who has been working as Sweeper in the 3rd respondent-temple, as illegal, arbitrary and unconstitutional and consequently direct the respondents to regularize the services of the petitioner as Sweeper and to grant present pay scales along with arrears with eﬀect from her initial date of appointment and all other service benefits. The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner is appointed as Sweeper in the 3rd respondent-temple by an order dated 30.06.1995 and since then she has been working as Sweeper in the temple. The petitioner belongs to Scheduled Caste community. Though she has been working as Sweeper since 1995, she has made to work only on a consolidated meagre pay. Therefore, she made a representation dated 12.01.2011 to the 3rd respondent stating that she has been working as Sweeper since 30.06.1995 and the meagre salary that she has been getting by way of consolidated pay is not suﬃcient to run the family. Therefore, she requested for increasing of the salary and for regularization of her services. The learned counsel for the petitioner also submits that on 18.06.2011 the petitioner met the 2nd respondent- Chairman of the Andhra Pradesh Dharmika Parishad and explained her problem to the Chairman, who in turn has promised that he will look into the matter. But, so far he has not considered the issue of regularization of the services of the petitioner. The petitioner also placed reliance on the judgment reported in State of Karnataka v. M.L.Kesari[1] and the Appeal (Civil) Nos.3595-3612 of 1999 dated 10.04.2006. On the other hand, the learned counsel for the 3rd respondent-temple submits that by virtue of the provisions of Act 2 of 1994, unless a person puts in continuous service of ﬁve years as on the cut of date i.e. 25.11.1993, the employee need not be entitled for regularization of service. Therefore, she is not entitled for any regularization of service. From the above, it could be seen that the petitioner has been working as Sweeper since 30.06.1995 and her case is that the meagre salary that is being paid by the 3rd respondent-temple presently at Rs.3,500/- per month is not sufficient to meet her necessities. Therefore, in view of her long and continuing service, she made a representation dated 12.01.2011 to the 3rd respondent, but the same has not been considered till date. In view of these facts and circumstances and without expressing any opinion as to the case of the petitioner, the respondents are directed to consider the petitioner’s representation dated 12.01.2011 in accordance with law and pass appropriate orders within a period of two months from the date of receipt of copy of this order. Accordingly, this writ petition is disposed of. No costs. ___________________ G.
