THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.27703 of 2005 Dated: 28-12-2005 Between: Ch.Prakash Reddy. .. PETITIONER AND The Commissioner of Enowments, Hyderabad and others. .. RESPONDENTS ORDER: The petitioner states that he has been working as driver on NMR basis in Sri Veera Venkata Satyanarayana Swamy, the second respondent herein, since 1994. He contends that some of the drivers, who were engaged along with him, were appointed on regular basis way back in the year 2000 and that he was not extended such benefit. He claims to have made several representations, the latest be the one dated 07-05-2005, in this regard and complaints that no action has been taken thereon. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner, the learned Government Pleader for Endowments and the learned Standing Counsel for respondents 2 and 3. The petitioner has placed before this court, two orders dated 31-03-2003, through which, the second respondent has regularized the services of two NMR drivers by name M.Prasad and J.Kasiviswanath. The question as to whether the petitioner has the same length of service as NMR and whether he deserves to be extended the same benefit, needs to be considered by the respondents. If the petitioner stands on the same footing as that of two employees referred to above, there is no reason why he should be discriminated in the matter of extending the benefit under G.O.Ms.No.212, dated 22-04-1994, if there exists any vacancy. The representation of the petitioner cannot be kept pending indefinitely. For the foregoing reasons, the writ petition is disposed of, directing the respondents to consider the case of the petitioner for regular appointment as driver against existing vacancy, as was done, in the case of other NMR drivers, who are said to be engaged along with the petitioner. This exercise shall be completed within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. No order as to costs. ______________ 28-12-2005 Prv
