THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.RAMULU W.P.No.8084 of 1997 ORAL ORDER: This writ petition is filed seeking a Mandamus declaring the proceedings dated 2.4.1997 issued by the first respondent as arbitrary and illegal and that the petitioners are entitled to be appointed and absorbed as regular Attenders in the first respondent college with retrospective effect and with all consequential benefits. It is the case of the petitioners that they joined as Waterman and Contingent respectively in the first respondent college and they have been working since more than 20 years and their services were regularized in the said posts. However, their services were not considered for absorption into regular vacancies. While admitting the writ petition, this Court by order dated 29.4.1997 in W.P.M.P.No.9844 of 1997 directed the respondents to pay the petitioners the minimum timescale of pay for the posts if any prescribed or the time scale of pay attached to Class-IV employees whatever designation they may use from April 1997. Further, this Court by order dated 23.9.1997 in W.P.M.P.No.26829 of 1997, directed the respondents to regularize the services of the petitioners. It appears, in pursuance of the interim orders passed by this Court, the respondents have already considered and regularized the services of the petitioners with effect from 12.11.1999 and they were put on regular timescale. However, the learned counsel for petitioners states that the petitioners have rendered more than 25 years of service before regularizing their services and if the same is not taken into consideration, the petitioners would be put to great hardship. In view of the above, the writ petition is disposed of directing the petitioners to make a representation to the respondents in this regard. On making such representation, the respondents shall consider the same and pass appropriate orders thereon. No order as to costs. ______________ C.V.RAMULU, J Date: 16.4.2007 DA THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.RAMULU W.P.No.8084 of 1997 16.4.2007 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE OF ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.RAMULU W.P.No.8084 of 1997 Date: 16th April, 2007 Between: Katta Krishnamurthy & another. ..
