THE HON’BLE Ms. JUSTICE G. ROHINI Writ Petition No. 3088 of 2001 Dated: 21.01.2011 Between: K.Nageswara Sarma, East Godavari District. … Petitioners And Government of Andhra Pradesh, Rep., by its Secretary, Hyderabad and 3 others. … Respondents THE HON'BLE MS JUSTICE G.ROHINI WRIT PETITION No. 3088 of 2001 O R D E R : This writ petition is filed seeking a declaration that the action of the respondents in not considering the case of the petitioner for regularisation of service with effect from 10.02.1991 and for granting the consequential benefits of seniority, arrears of pay etc., is arbitrary and illegal. In the counter affidavit filed by the 3rd respondent while admitting that the petitioner’s services were engaged as NMR Driver initially on 04.05.1989 and later he was selected as Driver in the interviews held on 08.03.1990, it is stated that the necessary proposals for extending the scale of pay to the petitioner were pending before the Commissioner of Endowments. It is brought to my notice by the learned counsel for the petitioner that during the pendency of this writ petition, by proceedings dated 30.10.2005, the petitioner’s services have been regularised with effect from 10.02.1991 and that the petitioner is being paid regular scale of pay as on today. However, it is contended by the learned counsel for the petitioner that the petitioner was denied the monetary benefits without there being any justifiable reason. It is also submitted by the learned counsel that all other similarly situated persons were granted monetary benefits with effect from the date of initial appointment. In the proceedings dated 30.10.2005 under which the services of the petitioner are regularised, no reasons were assigned for not granting the monetary benefits to the petitioner. Hence, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the writ petition with a direction to the respondents 1 to 3 to consider the petitioner’s claim for monetary benefits on par with the 4th respondent and other similarly situated persons from the date of initial appointment and pass appropriate orders in accordance with law within a period of four weeks from the date of receipt of this order. Writ petition is accordingly disposed of. No costs. _______________ G. ROHINI, J. Date: 21 .01.2011 KLP
