THE HON’BLE MR JUSTICE L. NARASIMHA REDDY Writ Petition No.17844 of 2008 ORDER: The petitioner is working as Barber in Sri Penusila Lakshmi Narasimha Swamy Devasthanam, Penchalakona Kshetra, Rapur Mandal, Nellore District. Stating that his father was Mirasidar, the petitioner submitted an application to the Devasthanam for appointing him as Junior Assistant. Since there was no clear vacancy of Junior Assistant, the Executive Officer of the Temple addressed a letter, dated 02.05.2005, to the Commissioner of Endowments, with a request to downgrade the post of Senior Assistant to that of Junior Assistant and permit him to appoint the petitioner herein as Junior Assistant. There was no reply from the office of the Commissioner. The petitioner filed W.P.No.12198 of 2005. The writ petition was disposed of, on 28.09.2006, directing that as and when any vacancy of Junior Assistant arises, the case of the petitioner shall be considered. The petitioner renewed his request, and in the meanwhile, the communication has also come from the office of Commissioner on 27.11.2006. Based one the same, the Executive Officer of the Temple, examined the matter in detail. Taking the view that four more barbers are working in the Temple, and in case the petitioner is employed as Junior Assistant similar claims would come from other barbers, the Devasthanam rejected the claim of the petitioner. The same is challenged in this Writ Petition. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner, learned Government Pleader for Endowments and learned Standing Counsel for the Devasthanam. The petitioner does not hold any vested right to be appointed as Junior Assistant. It is not in dispute that as many as five barbers are working in the Temple and the petitioner cannot be discriminated against others. The particulars furnished by the Executive Officer reveal that fairly reasonable remuneration is being paid to the barbers. In pursuance of the interim directions issued by this Court, the respondents once again considered the case of the petitioner and rejected through memo, dated 04.10.2008. Therefore, the Writ Petition is dismissed. There shall be no order as costs. _____________________ L. NARASIMHA REDDY, J. Dt.24.06.2010. GJ
