IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE, ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD (Special Original Jurisdiction) MONDAY, THE NINTEENTH DAY OF JULY TWO THOUSAND AND TEN PRESENT THE HON'BLE MRS. JUSTICE T.MEENA KUMARI AND THE HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE GOPALA KRISHNA TAMADA WRIT PETITION NO : 16029 of 2000 Between: The Principal, Govt. Junior College, Mothkur Mandal, Nalgonda District and others ..... PETITIONERS AND N.Bikshapathi and others .....RESPONDENTS The Court made the following : ORAL ORDER: (per THE HON’BLE MRS. JUSTICE T.MEENA KUMARI) Assailing the order dated 14.09.1999 made in O.A. No. 6988 of 1996 by the A.P. Administrative Tribunal directing the petitioners herein to regularize the services of the respondents and also to release the periodical increments within three months therefrom, the present writ petition is filed. The respondents 1 and 2 were appointed as Attender and Night Watchman on part time basis on 1.11.1984 and 1.8.1986 respectively. Earlier they filed OA No. 3693 of 1996 for release of increments, which was disposed of directing them to make representation to the Petitioner No.1. Accordingly, the respondents herein made representation dated 13.8.1996, which was negatived by order dated 13.11.1996 passed by the petitioner No.1. Aggrieved thereby, they filed the present OA seeking regularization of their services in terms of GO Ms. No. 212 dated 22.4.1994, which was allowed by the Tribunal, by the order impugned herein. Heard the learned Government Pleader for Finance and Planning appearing for the petitioners herein and the learned counsel for the respondents 1 and 2. It is specifically contended by the learned Govt. Pleader that since the respondents 1 and 2 herein are part time employees GO Ms. No. 212 dated 22.4.1994 is not applicable. He further contended that even otherwise, they are not entitled to the relief of regularsiaiton, inasmuch as they did put in ten yeas of service, as on the cut off date i.e. 25.11.1993, in term of GO Ms. No. 212 dated 22.4.1994 and, therefore, the order passed by the Tribunal is liable to be set aside. The fact that the respondents 1 and 2 have joined the service on temporary basis is not in dispute. It is also not in dispute that the government sanctioned six posts of Attender when it created 23 colleges and the first petitioner herein has converted the respondents 1 and 2 into regular employees and put them in the scale of Rs.740-1150 invoking GO Ms. No. 193 dated 14.3.1990 in the year 1990 itself and the respondents have put in more than five years of continuous service as on the cut off dates. The Tribunal, on extensive consideration of the issue, has found that the respondents have fulfilled the two ingredients prescribed in GO Ms. No. 212 dated 22.4.1994. Since the respondents have rendered continuous services right from 1984 and 1986 in regular vacancies and in the year 1990, the first petitioner has regularized their services, the Tribunal has rightly refused to deny the benefit under GO Ms. No. 212 dated 22.4.1994. Having gone through the entire material available on record, we do not find any irregularity in the order impugned. Consequent, the writ petition is liable to be dismissed and is accordingly dismissed. No order as to costs. ____________________ Justice T.Meena Kumari _________________________ Justice Gopala Krishna Tamada July 19, 2010 MAS
