HONOURABLE MR.JUSTICE B.PRAKASH RAO AND HONOURABLE MR.JUSTICE SANJAY KUMAR WRIT APPEAL Nos.255 and 917 of 2002 COMMON JUDGMENT: (Per Hon’ble Mr.Justice B.Prakash Rao) Since common questions arise in these two appeals, they have been taken up together for disposal. State is the appellant, who is seeking to assail the orders in allowing the writ petition filed by the respondent employees of the Corporation styled as the A.P.Scheduled Castes Finance Cooperative Society Limited, Guntur, in W.P.No.10538 of 2001 dated 28/12/2000, whereby a mandamus was issued directing the appellant herein to pay the salaries. The case in brief on behalf of the respondent-employees was in spite of the fact that there being regular employees working in various capacities, no salaries are being paid. After contest, the learned Single Judge allowed the writ petition and against which the present appeals are filed. It has been pointed out at the time of hearing that as per W.A.No.255 of 2002 is concerned when the matter came up earlier initially the Division Bench of this Court has passed an order on 27/08/2002 considering the report filed by the said Corporation wherein it was explained its inability to pay the salaries to the staff, it was held that: “In our view, the inability expressed by the corporation cannot at all be accepted. The Corporation being the employer, it is its duty to pay salaries to employees, including the staff of the Engineering Wing, and more so when the Corporation is paying salaries to the managerial staff. It is for the Corporation to approach the Government and get necessary funds and see that salaries are paid to all the members of the staff, including the staff of Engineering Wing. If any representation is made by the Corporation, the Government shall consider the same and pass appropriate orders, within eight weeks.” We are informed that subsequently even the said order was not complied with and the respondent/petitioners had preferred a contempt case which was allowed directing to implement the said order. Accordingly, learned counsel appearing for respondent No.5 submits that the entire salaries have been paid and thus the order of the learned Single Judge has been duly complied with. Similar is also to the effect in the other connected order. In view of the compliance of the order and payment of the salaries, nothing survives in these appeals. The Writ Appeals are accordingly dismissed. There shall be no order as to costs. _________________ B.PRAKASH RAO, J __________________ Date: 02-09-2009 SANJAY KUMAR, J SKM
