Social Welfare Residential School, Yellareddy, Nizamabad District, dated 26.1.2002 was entertained as “Public Interest Litigation”, as taken up matter. They made grievance that Government in order to uplift the Tribals had constituted two societies, namely, A.P. Social Welfare Residential Educational Institute Society, (Regd.) and A.P. Tribal Welfare Residential Educational Institute Society (Regd.). There were two lakh students taking education in the two societies. It has been pointed out that most of the teachers teaching in those societies are appointed on contract basis and were leaving the institutions during mid academic session on getting regular appointment, thereby deserting the students adversely affecting their studies. Therefore, a direction is sought in this petition to appoint teachers on regular basis at par with other residential schools. After rule nisi was issued in the year 2002, no counter affidavit was filed till date. We, therefore, dispose of this writ petition with a direction to the respondents to treat the writ petition itself as a representation and take appropriate decision thereupon as may be deemed fit and proper within two months from the date of receipt of this Writ Order. No costs. ____________________ DEVINDER GUPTA, CJ Date: 6th December, 2004 ________________________ M.
