Since both these writ petitions are filed by the un-aided lecturers working in Hindu College, Guntur seeking the same relief, they are taken up together for disposal by this common order. 3. Writ petition No.5999 of 2006 is filed by one Smt.Ch.Neela Krishnaveni who is said to be working as a Lecturer in Commerce in an un-aided post in the 4th respondent college i.e. Hindu College, Guntur. Writ petition No.6001 of 2006 is filed by Sri P.V.Ramu and Dr.P.Venugopal are also said to be working as Lecturers in Physics and Economics respectively in un-aided posts in the same college. 4. Both these writ petitions are filed for a direction to the 2nd respondent i.e. Commissioner and Director of Collegiate Education, Andhra Pradesh, Hyderabad to absorb the petitioners therein in the existing aided vacant posts in Hindu College at Guntur. It is seen that the Director of Collegiate Education, Andhra Pradesh, Hyderabad by his proceedings in Rc.No.1588/Admn.IV-3/2004, dated 21-2-2006 directed all private aided colleges to furnish information with regard to number of un- aided lecturers appointed and working under the provisions of G.O.Ms.No.12, Education (CEI-2) Department, dated 10-1-1992 along with aided vacancy positions in such colleges immediately. In the subject of the said proceedings, it is mentioned that the said information is required for absorption against vacant aided posts. It is further seen that the 4th respondent i.e. The Secretary & Correspondent of the Hindu College, Guntur accordingly by his letter dated 9-3-2006 has furnished the information with regard to all the Lecturers working and this information includes the petitioners in both these writ petitions also. 5. The grievance of the petitioners is that respondents 1 to 3 are not taking any action to absorb them or to conclude one way or the other in the matter so that they can pursue their remedies and the matter is kept pending since 2006. The petitioners have also claimed that they are entitled to be absorbed in aided vacant posts on regular basis, but since the matter is pending before the respondents 1 to 3, it may not be proper at this stage to go into this question. Hence the respondents 1 to 3 are directed to immediately take a decision in the matter regarding absorption of the petitioners into aided vacant posts within two month from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. Thereafter if the decision of the respondents goes against them, the petitioners shall be at liberty to approach this Court. 6. It is reported that pursuant to the interim directions of this Court in both the writ petitions, all the three petitioners are continuing in service in the 4th respondent college and they shall be continued till their eligibility for absorption is decided by the respondents 1 to 3. 7. With these observations, these writ petitions are disposed of. No costs. ___________________________ JUSTICE N.RAVI SHANKAR 11th August, 2011 Note: Issue C.C. today.
