THE HON'BLE THE CHIEF JUSTICE SHRI NISAR AHMAD KAKRU and THE HON'BLE SHRI JUSTICE SANJAY KUMAR WRIT PETITION No. 24124 OF 2009 Dated: 28-04-2010 Between: Sri Mangati Gopal Reddy ... PETITIONER AND Government of Andhra Pradesh, rep., by its Principal Secretary, Revenue & Endowments Department, Secretariat, Hyderabad and three others ... RESPONDENTS THE HON'BLE THE CHIEF JUSTICE SHRI NISAR AHMAD KAKRU and THE HON'BLE SHRI JUSTICE SANJAY KUMAR WRIT PETITION No.24124 OF 2009 ORDER: (per the Hon’ble the Chief Justice Shri Nisar Ahmad Kakru) Sri P. Seshadri – respondent 4, Parpathyadar in the establishment of the Tirumala Tirupathi Devasthanams – respondent 3 retired on superannuation on 31-07-2006. He was accorded extension in three spells and the last one has the effect of extending his service as Officer on Special Duty till 01-08-2011 which has become subject matter of this public interest litigation. Rule 13 of the Tirumala Tirupathi Devasthanams Employees Service Rules, 1989 reads thus: “The person or persons appointed in Tirumala Tirupathi Devasthanams on re-employment basis after superannuation shall in no case be continued beyond the completion of the age of sixty years.” Admittedly, respondent 4 has crossed the age of sixty years. On that count the learned counsel for respondent 4 – beneficiary of the order has not joined issue. That being so, prohibition in the rule supra against his continuation is manifest. Situated thus he cannot be continued anymore. We direct respondent 3 accordingly. Settled. SANJAY KUMAR, J NISAR AHMAD KAKRU, CJ 28-04-2010 K. Shyleshi
