THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.RAMULU W.P.Nos.819 & 1514 of 2003 COMMON ORDER: In both these two writ petitions, common questions of law and fact arises for consideration, therefore they are being disposed of by this common order. It appears, all the petitioners are direct recruits appointed as Junior Assistants in the Respondent Corporation and they are working in Finance and Personnel Department. While that being so, under the impugned orders, they were asked to work as Assistant Depot Clerks/Controllers since they have opted to work in the Traffic Department. According to the petitioners, they were forced to give their willingness and the question of transferring the personnel working on administrative side to the operational side does not arise. Further, the posts are not equivalent as contemplated under Service Regulations. It appears, that the Respondent Corporation issued Circular dated 3.4.2002 for accommodating the excessive staff from one department to another department. In that process, according to the respondents, the petitioners who were found to be in excess in the cadre of Junior Assistants, they are sought to be posted in the operational side on temporary basis and their seniority is being continued in the parent department itself. Be that as it may, this Court while admitting the writ petitions, granted interim suspension of the impugned orders and the petitioners are being continued as Junior Assistants and further it appears that they have been promoted as Senior Assistants in their respective branches. In view of the same and also due to efflux of time, the impugned orders passed by the respondent-Corporation have become irrelevant, therefore, it must be deemed that they are not in force as of today. The writ petitions are accordingly disposed of. There shall be no order as to costs. ______________ C.V.RAMULU, J Date: 3.2.2011 DA THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.RAMULU W.P.Nos.819 & 1514 of 2003 3.2.2011 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE OF ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.RAMULU W.P.Nos.819 & 1514 of 2003 Date: 3rd February, 2011 Between: M.S.B.
