THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE G.CHANDRAIAH W.P.NO.18016 OF 2004 O R D E R Heard the counsel for the petitioner the Government Pleader for Endowments. 2. Aggrieved by the inaction on the part of the 2nd respondent – Sri Durga Malleswara Swamy Varla Devastanam, Indrakeeladri, Vijayawada represented by its Executive Officer, in regularizing the services of the petitioners, the present writ petition is filed. 3. The case of the petitioners as stated in the affidavit filed in support of the writ petition is that they are working in subordinate services in the 2nd respondent – Devasthanam and for the past many years and as they were not being regularized, they filed a writ petition before this court in W.P.No.6616/2003 and by order dated 24.9.2003 this court directed the petitioners to make a representation to the Commissioner, Endowments within a period of twenty days from the receipt of the order and the same was directed to be disposed of giving reasonable opportunity. The case of the petitioners is that pursuant to the orders of this court, the Commissioner Endowments issued orders in D.Dis.No.A1/9772/04 dated 31.3.2004 according permission to the 2nd respondent to engage the services of 20 NMRs. on contract basis for a period of 12 months at the rate of Rs.60 per day. The case of the petitioners is that in similar circumstances, the NMRs of Sri Veera Venkata Satyanarayana Devasthanam, Annavaram filed W.P.No.13450/1991 and batch and this court by order dated 28.7.1999 allowing the writ petition directing the respondents therein to regularize the services of the petitioners. Therefore, the petitioners are seeking a direction to the respondents to regularize their services. 4. No counter affidavit has been filed. 5. From the above averments, it could be seen that this court in the earlier writ petition in W.P.No.6616/2003 dated 24.9.2003 directed the petitioners to make a representation to the Commissioner of Endowments and that he was directed to dispose the same after giving reasonable opportunity. But the Commissioner of Endowments vide proceedings 31.3.2004 accorded permission to the 2nd respondent to engage services of 20 NMRs on contract basis for a period of 12 months. Therefore, it is clear that the direction of this court is not complied with in its true sense. Hence, the writ petition is disposed of with the following direction: “The 1st respondent – Commissioner shall consider the case of the petitioners for regularization of their services, in accordance with law, and pass appropriate orders, within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order.” 6. In the circumstances of the case, there shall be no order as to costs. AVS ------------------------------------- 12—06—2008
