HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE V.ESWARAIAH HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE R.SUBHASH REDDY AND HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE VILAS V.AFZULPURKAR W.P.No.5326 of 1998 MONDAY, THE 12th DAY OF OCTOBER, 2009 Between: M. Ramesh Kumar Reddy ….PETITIONER(S) and State of Andhra Pradesh, rep. by its Principal Secretary, Education Department, Secretariat, Hyderabad and others …RESPONDENT(S) HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE V.ESWARAIAH HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE R.SUBHASH REDDY AND HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE VILAS V.AFZULPURKAR W.P.No.5326 of 1998 ORDER: (PER SRI JUSTICE V.ESWARAIAH) This writ petition is filed seeking a direction to the respondents to regularize the services of the petitioner as a Lecturer in Statistics in the 3rd respondent college from the date of his appointment with all consequential benefits. Heard the learned counsel for petitioner and the learned Government Pleader for Higher Education. The petitioner was appointed as a part-time Lecturer in Statistics in the college of the 3rd respondent on 27.11.1995. The petitioner seeks consideration of his case for regularization as a Lecturer in Statistics in the 3rd respondent college in accordance with G.O.Ms.No.328 Education (CE-III) Department, dated 15.10.1997, as one aided post fell vacant in 1997 due to the retirement of Sri P.Ramachandra Rao who was holding an aided post of Lecturer in Statistics in the same college. One of the conditions stipulated in para 9.5 of G.O.Ms.No.328 is that for being eligible for regularization of their services, the part-time Lecturers must have put in a service of 3 academic years as on 30.07.1991 or 5 academic years as on 25.11.1993 as the case may be and must also be continuing in service (emphasis supplied) on the date of issuance of these orders. It is evident from the above mandatory requirement that the petitioner does not fulfill the requirement of being in service as on the date of issuance of the said G.O.Ms.No.328 i.e. 15.10.1997. Therefore, the writ petition is devoid of merits and the petitioner is not entitled to any relief. The writ petition is, accordingly, dismissed. No order as to costs. ___________________ V.ESWARAIAH, J _______________________ R.SUBHASH REDDY, J ___________________________ VILAS V.AFZULPURKAR,J 12th OCTOBER 2009 CVRK/KPR
