THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V. RAMULU W.P. No. 30692 of 1997 O R D E R: It appears, petitioner was appointed as Junior Lecturer in Urdu with effect from 1.2.1984, in 3rd respondent-College. While that being so, the post held by the petitioner has been admitted to grant-in- aid vide G.O.Ms.No.527 dated 10.12.1984, with retrospective effect i.e. with effect from 1.6.1984. However, the services of the petitioner were regularized only with effect from 11.3.1996. Now the grievance of the petitioner is that once the vacancy is admitted to grant-in-aid and that is the only vacancy which is available there and the petitioner was lone claimant and she was working against that post, she is entitled for regularization of her services with effect from 1.6.1984 and not 11.3.1996. It is also the case of the petitioner that when the services of one Venkata Ramana Reddy and Venugopal Reddy of the same college were not regularized from the date when the posts were admitted to grant-in-aid, both the above candidates have filed writ petitions before this Court in W.P. Nos. 6080 of 1989 and 16295 of 1994 respectively and in view of the directions of this Court, the respondents have regularized the services of the said individuals from the date of admission of the posts to grant-in-aid and all other monetary benefits were also extended. Learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that since the petitioner is similarly placed, the same benefit shall be extended to the petitioner. Instead of doing that, when the petitioner made a representation, the same was rejected through an order dated 25.9.1996, stating as under: “The attention of the correspondent, B.T. College, Madanapalli, Chittoor District is invited to the references read above and he is informed that there is no justification to consider the request of Smt. S. Kursheed Begum, Lect. In Urduof his college to regularize her service w.e.f. 1.3.1984 and therefore her request is not feasible of compliance. The correspondent is requested to inform the above incumbent accordingly”. Heard both sides. The writ petition filed by G. Venkataramana Reddy in W.P. No. 6080 of 1989 was disposed of by this Court on 11.11.1992, with the following directions: “In view of the fact that the Government has accepted the decision of the Division Bench and in view of the fact that G.O.Ms.No.351 dated 4.3.1992 has been brought out by the Government accepting the decision of the Division Bench and directing the Director of College Education to implement the said judgment, I am of the view that the petitioner is also entitled to seek a relief in terms of the decision of the Division Bench. Accordingly, I direct the first and second respondents to consider the case of the petitioner for regularizing his services with effect from 11.1.1985 as Lecturer of Economics in P.G. course. I am of the opinion that the petitioner could also be entitled to get the consequential benefits from the date of his regularization. The respondents 1 and 2 are directed to complete the process of regularizing the petitioner in service within two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order”. The said order was implemented and the services of the petitioner therein were regularized from the date when the post was admitted to grant-in-aid. It is also brought to the notice of this Court that the petitioner, at the earliest point of time, when her services were not regularized in spite of recommendation made by the management, filed W.P. No. 1535 of 1988 and the same was disposed of on 10.12.1993 directing the respondents therein to regularize her services and ultimately her services were regularized pursuant to the said order, only on 11.3.1996. Having considered the facts and circumstances of the case, I am of the opinion that since the petitioner is also similarly placed as that of G. Venkata Ramana Reddy in W.P. No. 6080 of 1989 and his services have been regularized from the date when the post was admitted to grant-in-aid, petitioner is entitled to be extended the same benefit. In view of the above, the writ petition is disposed of directing the respondents to consider regularizing the services of the petitioner from the date when the post i.e. Junior Lecturer (Urdu) was admitted to grant-in-aid in 3rd respondent-college i.e. from 1.6.1984 and extend the monetary benefits, as was done in the case of G. Venkata Ramana Reddy-petitioner in W.P. No. 6080 of 1989. No order as to costs. JUSTICE C.V. RAMULU. Date: 13-7-2010. MVB.
