PETITIONER AND B.Ramulu and others. ....RESPONDENTS THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE J.CHELAMESWAR AND THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE P.SWAROOP REDDY WRIT PETITION No.671 OF 2007 O R D E R (Per Sri Justice J.Chelameswar) Aggrieved by an order of the A.P. Administrative Tribunal in O.A.No.1866 of 2006, dated 14th October, 2006, the fourth respondent therein preferred the present writ petition. Respondent Nos.1 to 27 herein filed the abovementioned O.A. alleging that during the years 1987 and 1988, they were employed by the Patancheru Gram Panchayat, which is subsequently upgraded as Municipality – writ petitioner before us. The fact that the services of the abovementioned 27 respondents herein were utilized either by the Gram Panchayat or the present Municipality for all these years is admitted. The applicants in the abovementioned O.A. claimed that their services may be continued on the same terms and conditions by which they were governed while they were working in the Gram Panchayat for almost three decades. The writ petitioner resisted the said O.A. on the ground that the Municipality is overburdened with staffs. On the other hand, it is an admitted fact that enough work is available for the respondents/applicants to continue in service. In the circumstances, the Tribunal disposed of the O.A. with certain directions to continue the respondents in service. The abovementioned facts demonstrate that the order of the Tribunal does not call for any interference. We find no merits in the writ petition and the same is accordingly dismissed at the admission stage itself. ----------------------------------- JUSTICE J.CHELAMESWAR -------------------------------------- JUSTICE P.SWAROOP REDDY 5th MARCH, 2007 Note: Issue copy in one week.
