THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.3955 of 1996 DATED: 22-12-2006 Between: D.Ravinder And others. … Petitioners. And Prl.Secretary to Government, Home (Printing) Depart, Hyderabad. and others. … Respondents. THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.3955 of 1996 ORDER: This writ petition is filed questioning G.O.Rt.No.170 dated 27.1.1996 whereby certain trainees who were included as apprentice tenure were continued for a period of one year from 1.3.1995 to 29.2.1996. Apprehending their discontinuance beyond 29.2.1996 they filed the present writ petition. From the record it is clear that this Court granted an interim direction on 29.2.1996. Alleging non-compliance with the said order one of the petitioners filed contempt case No.523 of 1997 and the same was closed with an observation that the order dated 29.2.1996 was complied with. Though the petitioners’ counsel is unable to state whether all the petitioners have completed tenure of their apprenticeship as originally stipulated in the order dated 2.1.1995, there is no reason to believe that they would not have completed their respective periods of apprenticeship which ranged between two years and three years. Since these periods have expired long time back during the pendency of writ petition, I do not see any cause surviving for adjudication on merits. For the aforementioned reasons the writ petition is dismissed. ____________________________ C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY, J Date: 22.12.2006 mdaa
