IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE, ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD (Special Original Jurisdiction) TUESDAY, THE SIXTEENTH DAY OF DECEMBER TWO THOUSAND AND EIGHT PRESENT THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY WRIT PETITION NO:31405 of 1997 Between: Bheemavarapu Veeranarayana ..... PETITIONER AND The Chief General Manager (Personnel), State Bank of India, Hyderabad. .....RESPONDENT Counsel for the Petitioner:NONE APPEARED The Court made the following : ORDER: This writ petition is filed for the following substantive relief: “For the reasons stated in the accompanying affidavit, it is prayed that the Hon’ble Court may be pleased to issue an order, direction or writ particularly one in the nature of Writ of Mandamus declaring the inaction of the respondents in absorbing the services of the petitioner as subordinate staff on permanent basis, as bad, illegal, arbitrary and violative of Articles 14 and 16 of the Constitution of India and consequently direct the respondents to regularize/absorb the services of the petitioner as sub-staff (Sweeper or any other suitable post) with all consequential benefits.” On 15.12.2008, no one appeared for the petitioner. Even today, there is no appearance for the petitioner despite the fact that the writ petition is coming up under the caption ‘for dismissal’. It is, therefore, reasonable to presume that the petitioner is not interested in pursuing his cause in the writ petition. The writ petition is, therefore, dismissed in default. As a sequel to dismissal of main petition in default, WPMP.No.36829 of 1997 filed by the petitioner for interim relief is disposed of as infructuous. C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY, J 16th DECEMBER, 2008. kvni
