HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE RAMESH RANGANATHAN WRIT PETITION No.14923 of 2000 ORDER: The relief sought for in this writ petition is to declare the action of the respondents in shifting the petitioner from the post of games boy to a kitchen helper, and in transferring him to the A.P. Residential School for B.C. Boys at Tekulodu, as arbitrary and illegal. The petitioner joined the services of the 2nd respondent on daily wages on 14.8.1987. His services were regularized on 11.6.1993. The 1st respondent issued proceedings dated 24.6.2000 transferring the petitioner to the A.P. Residential School for B.C. Boys, Tekulodu as a kitchen helper in the existing vacancy. It is the petitioner’s grievance that, though he was working as a games boy, he was transferred to another school as a kitchen helper, and his transfer to another school as kitchen helper is arbitrary and illegal. In the counter affidavit, it is stated that the Government had evolved a scheme for regularization of services of the non- teaching staff working on daily wages/ad-hoc basis under the control of A.P. Residential Educational Institutes Society subject to fulfillment of certain conditions, and the services of the petitioner was therefore regularized with effect from 11.6.1993. The respondents would contend that the petitioner is working in a contingent category post and, as such, he is not entitled for promotion to the post of record assistant. They would state that the posts of kitchen helper/sweeper/games boy/watchman etc., fall under one category of contingent staff, and all of them are in one group and carry equal pay scales. They would state that the Government did not sanction non-teaching posts for some institutions managed by the society, and in these circumstances the society had identified certain surplus posts and allotted such posts to the needy institutions with the approval of the Vice Chairman of the Society; and, as there was no work load for the post of games boy, the petitioner was shifted to the post of kitchen helper in a nearby school. The respondents would state that at present there is no post of Physical Director sanctioned in the schools; the said post of Physical Director was also shifted; and, as there was no work load for the post of games boy, the petitioner was transferred on administrative grounds within the District after converting his post to that of kitchen helper. They would assert that the petitioner had himself informed the respondent, vide letter dated 6.7.2000, that he would work as a kitchen helper at the A.P. Residential School, K’ Halli; and, since the petitioner himself was willing to work as a kitchen helper, he could not make any grievance of his being transferred to another school in the said post. This Court, by order in WPMP 18928 of 2000 dated 13.12.2000, noted that the petitioner had already joined as a kitchen helper in the A.P. Residential Schools for B.C. Boys, Tekullodu and was working thereat. In such circumstances this court left it open to the petitioner to make a representation, in the light of the proceedings dated 14.3.2000, requesting the respondents to consider his case for being retransferred to the A.P. Residential School, Kodiginahalli as games boy, if any such post was in existence thereat. As the post of games boy and kitchen helper fall within the same category of contingency worker, and the petitioner was transferred to another school nearly a decade ago, ends of justice would be met if the interim order aforementioned is made the final order in the writ petition. There shall be a direction accordingly. The Writ Petition is disposed of. No costs. ___________ 22-7-2010 asp
