JUSTICE T.MEENA KUMARI AND HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE G.V.SEETHAPATHY W.P.No.24757 OF 2010 ORDER: (Per TMK,J) This writ petition is filed by the petitioners seeking Writ of Certiorari calling for the records relating to the order dated 09.04.2010 passed in OA No.6248 of 2005 by the A.P. Administrative Tribunal, Hyderabad and declare them as illegal and unreasonable by quashing the same. 2. According to the first respondent, who is applicant in the O.A., his mother was working as a Sweeper under provincialised staff of gram Panchayat, Kaverammapet, Jadcherla Mandal, Mahabubnagar district. Owing to ill-health, she retired on medical invalidation ground and the first respondent-applicant was appointed as ‘kamati’ in the said gram panchayat on 21.10.1989 on compassionate grounds. The services of the first respondent were regularized in the category of Kamati by order dated 14.03.1992 issued by the third petitioner herein. He further contended that when one Neelam Naik, who was working as Fitter died, the first respondent was converted and posted as Fitter in the said vacancy by order dated 07.09.1992 and worked in the said capacity since then. It is further contended that as per the finding of the Five Men Committee, there were no posts of Fitter and Attender in the said Gram Panchayat and the grant given by the Government to the first respondent was stopped. As the first respondent herein was not recognized as provincialised staff member, he made a representation on 24.08.2005 requesting the petitioners herein to recognize the post held by him as provincialised category of Class IV category and to pay the salary regularly from the Government grant. Since the petitioners herein have not taken any action, the first respondent filed O.A. The respondents in the O.A, filed counter denying the allegations made in the application and contended that the District Level Committee has declared the post of Kamati in Gram Panchayat as provincialised post and one Mopathaiah was appointed in that post and funds are being released by the Government for payment of salary. The post of Fitter in Jadcherla (Kaverammapet) Gram Panchayat held by the applicant has not been declared as provincialised post by the District Level Committee and hence, the salary of the applicant is being paid from the funds of Gram Panchayat regularly. After hearing both sides, the Tribunal disposed of the O.A directing the respondents to pass appropriate orders as per Rules on the representation made by the applicant dated 24.08.2005 requesting to treat the post of Fitter in Kaverammapet Gram Panchayat, Jadcherla Mandal, Mahabubnagar district, as a provincialised post or Class IV category, within eight weeks from the date of receipt of the order. Learned Government Pleader for Services II seeks further time for passing appropriate orders on the representation dated 24.08.2005 of the first respondent-applicant. Having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case, without entering into the merits of the case, the writ petition is disposed of, granting two months time from today to the petitioners herein for passing appropriate orders on the representation dated 24.08.2005 of the first respondent-applicant in accordance with law. No order as to costs. ___________________ T.MEENA KUMARI, J Dated 06th October 2010 ____________________ G.V.SEETHAPATHY, J Lrkm/bss
