IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE, ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD (Special Original Jurisdiction) MONDAY, THE TWENTY FIFTH DAY OF JANUARY TWO THOUSAND AND TEN PRESENT HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE A.GOPAL REDDY AND HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE NOUSHAD ALI WRIT PETITION No.906 of 2010 Between: Ch.Srinivasa Rao. … Petitioner And 1. District Judge, Visakhapatnam. 2. V Additional District Judge, Visakhapatnam. … Respondents This Court made the following: HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE A.GOPAL REDDY AND HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE NOUSHAD ALI WRIT PETITION No.906 of 2010 ORDER: - (Per Hon’ble Sri Justice A.GOPAL REDDY) Petitioner, who is engaged as a Process Server through outsourcing agency, applied for leave from 11.11.2009 to 26.11.2009 to the 2nd respondent and the same was sanctioned and thereafter he again applied for long leave on 24.11.2009 for a period of 155 days. Since the petitioner was not appointed on regular basis and he was engaged through outsourcing agency, his services were dispensed with informing to the petitioner and also to the outsourcing agency. Since the petitioner will not have any lien, as he was not appointed on regular basis, after due selection the petitioner cannot complain that his services cannot be terminated without conducting any enquiry and it is violation of principles of natural justice. Since the very fact that the petitioner’s services were engaged through outsourcing agency and he applied for leave for a period of 155 days, which causes lot of inconvenience to the Court in servicing the summons to the litigant, 2nd respondent can always depute another person in his place as a Process Server, by utilizing the outsourcing agency. In view of the same, the writ petition is devoid of merits and is accordingly dismissed. No costs. __________________ A.GOPAL REDDY, J ________________ NOUSHAD ALI, J 21st January 2010 Lmv
