THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE C.V. RAMULU WRIT PETITION NO.13822 OF 1997 DATED: 10-04-2007 Between: V. Venkat Ram and others .. Petitioners and The Government of Andhra Pradesh represented by its Prl. Secretary, Education and others .. Respondents THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE C.V. RAMULU WRIT PETITION NO.13822 OF 1997 ORDER: This writ petition is filed seeking a mandamus declaring the action of the respondents in engaging the services of the petitioners as Part Time Lecturers for years together without paying them regular scale of pay, though the petitioners are performing the same duties as that of regular Lecturers, as arbitrary, illegal and violative of Articles 14 and 16 of the Constitution of India; and consequently to direct the respondents to regularize their services as Lecturers in the 3rd respondent college. There is no necessity of going into all the details. It is brought to the notice of this Court that during the pendency of the writ petition, out of the total eight petitioners, the case of the petitioners 2,3,5 and 7 was considered and their services were regularized as Lecturers, and the case of the petitioners 1,4 and 8 was rejected by the respondents. Aggrieved by the same, the petitioners 4 and 8 filed writ petitions, being W.P.No.35079 of 1998 and 35821 of 1998 respectively, and the same are pending before this Court. Therefore, this writ petition has become infructuous insofar as the petitioners 2,3,4,5,7 and 8. Insofar as the 1st petitioner is concerned, though his case was rejected, he did not file any writ petition and, according to the learned counsel for the petitioners, he has been making representations before the respondents for reconsidering his case; whereas, in respect of the case of the 6th petitioner, the College itself has not sent any proposals for regularizing his services. Under these circumstances, I deem it appropriate to direct the petitioners 1 and 6 to make fresh representations to the respondents seeking regularization of their services, and the respondents shall consider the same as per the guidelines laid down in G.O.Ms.No.328 dated 15.10.1997 or any other guidelines issued by the Government from time to time in this regard and pass appropriate orders, within a period of two months from the date of receipt of such representations filed by the petitioners 1 and 6, and communicate the same to them. With the above directions, the writ petition is disposed of. There shall be no order as to costs. ____​__________ C.V. RAMULU, J 10th April, 2007. IBL
