IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE, ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE N.V. RAMANA WRIT PETITION NO : 20722 of 2007 DATED: 4.10.2007 Between: S Hari Prasad petitioner And Indian Bank Head office, Rep by its Assistant General Manager (HRD) 66, Rajaji Salai, Chennai-01 & another respondents THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE N.V. RAMANA WRIT PETITION NO : 20722 of 2007 ORAL ORDER: This writ petition is filed questioning the action of the respondents in not considering the case of the petitioner for the post of sub staff as illegal and arbitrary. The petitioner claims that he belongs to S.C community, passed 8th class and joined the respondent bank as temporary sub staff on 21.10.1991 and worked continuously on daily wage of Rs.35/- without any break till 1997. Earlier, the petitioner and other similarly placed persons filed W.P. No. 33361 of 1997 and batch seeking regularization of their services. The said batch of writ petitions was disposed of by order dated 17.3.1998 in W.P No. 19747 of 1996 and batch. The petitioner claims that in terms of the orders of this Court dated 17.3.1998, preference has to be given to the existing temporary sub staff and he is entitled to regularization and the respondents without considering his case for absorption, disengaged his services without assigning any reasons and the representation dated 20.5.2007 submitted by him to the second respondent is pending and no orders are passed till date. Though several contentions were raised, during the course of arguments, learned counsel for petitioner prayed that the writ petition may be disposed of directing the respondents to consider the representation of the petitioner dated 20.5.2007 and pass appropriate orders expeditiously, in accordance with law. Since the representation of the petitioner is pending with the second respondent, without going into the merits of the matter, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the writ petition directing the second respondent to consider and dispose of the representation of the petitioner dated 20.5.2007 expeditiously, in accordance with law, if not already disposed of. Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of. No costs. ____________ N.V.RAMANA,J DATE: 4.10.2007 TVK 134 THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE N.V. RAMANA WRIT PETITION NO : 20722 of 2007 DATED: 4.10.2007
