Counsel for the Petitioner:MR.BRAHMADANDI RAMESH Counsel for the Respondents : MR.SAMINENI KISHORE The Court made the following : ORDER: The petitioner states that he has been employed as Village Electrical Worker, by the Co-operative Electric Supply Society Limited, Siricilla, Karimnagar, the second respondent herein, between 01.01.1987 and 15.06.1992. The Government issued G.O.Rt.No.764, Agriculture and Co-operation Department, dated 31.07.2006, directing that the Village Electricity Workers appointed by the second respondent shall be taken in service, as Junior Line Men, on contract basis. The grievance of the petitioner is that such a facility was not extended to him, though he made a representation, dated 23.12.2006. The Writ Petition was presented on 18.01.2007. It has undergone several stages. In the meanwhile, the second respondent has addressed a letter, dated 15.12.2007, to the Joint Registrar/District Co-operative Oﬃcer, Karimnagar, stating that the petitioner has been appointed as Contract Helper on 16.10.2006 itself, in terms of G.O.Ms.No.764. In that view of the matter, the grievance of the petitioner does not subsist. He has to approach the second respondent and report to duty. The petitioner states that no order of appointment was issued to him. Since the second respondent himself has stated that the petitioner was appointed, there is no reason to apprehend that he will not be permitted to report to duty. Hence, the Writ Petition is closed, leaving it open to the petitioner to approach the second respondent for necessary directions. There shall be no order as to costs. ____________________ Dt.27.08.2008 L.NARASIMHA REDDY, J GJ
