Bandam Rambai v. The State Of Telangana

THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE ABHINAND KUMAR SHAVILI WRIT PETITION NO.8299 OF 2019 ORDER:

This writ petition is being disposed of at the admission stage with the consent of learned counsel for both parties. This writ petition is filed seeking a writ of Mandamus declaring the action of the respondents in not considering the applications dated 11.02.2019 and 27.06.2015 for providing employment to petitioner No.2 under the scheme of extremists violence as per G.O.Ms.No.504 dated 11.08.2008 and G.O.Ms.No.50 dated 21.02.2014 as arbitrary, illegal and contrary to the G.Os and also violative of Articles 14 and 16 of the Constitution of India and sought a consequential direction to the respondents to consider the applications dated 11.02.2019 and 27.06.2015. Heard Sri G. Madhusudhan Reddy, learned counsel for the petitioners, and the learned Government Pleader for GAD appearing for the respondents.

It has been contended by the petitioners that they are the legal heirs of one Poshireddy who was killed by extremists during January, 1992 and the State Government issued G.O.Ms.No.504 dated 11.08.2008 and G.O.Ms.No.50 dated 21.02.2014, whereby policy decision was taken to provide employment to the dependent family members of any persons killed in the extremists activities. The petitioners have submitted representations to the respondents on 27.06.2015 and 11.02.2019 seeking employment as per the said G.Os., but the respondents are neither considering the said representations nor considering the case of the 2nd petitioner for providing employment in any suitable post. Therefore, learned counsel for the petitioners contends that appropriate orders be

passed in the writ petition directing the respondents to consider the case of the 2nd petitioner for providing employment in terms of the G.Os referred supra.

Learned Government Pleader appearing for the respondents had submitted that the case of the petitioners would be considered and appropriate orders would be passed on the representations submitted by the petitioners.

This Court, having considered the rival submissions of the learned counsel for respective parties, is of the considered view that this writ petition can be disposed of directing the respondents to consider the applications submitted by the petitioners on 27.06.2015 and 11.02.2019 and pass appropriate orders in accordance with law, within a period of eight weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. With the above observations, this writ petition is disposed of. No order as to costs.

Consequently, miscellaneous petitions pending, if any, shall stand closed.
