G. Dharmamohan Reddy S/O G. Venkata Reddy v. The Assistant Commissioner, Endowments

HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE A.RAJASHEKER REDDY WRIT PETITION No.13113 of 2006 ORDER:

This Writ Petition is filed questioning the proceedings dated 16.06.2006 in Rc.No.A2/1680/05-1 and Rc.No.65/06 dated 18.06.2006 passed by the respondents 1 and 2, respectively. The case of the petitioners is that they were appointed as ticket clerks and attenders in 2nd respondent-Sri Gangamma Devatha Temple, C.K.Dinne Mandal, Kadapa District, in 2004 and 2005. But the respondents issued the impugned proceedings terminating their services, without any prior notice. Aggrieved by the same, this Writ Petition is filed.

This Court, on 11.07.2006, while admitting the writ petition, suspended the impugned proceedings holding that the same were issued without any prior notice and that the petitioners are appointed in the sanctioned posts, in view of the order dated 09.01.2004 passed by the Assistant Commissioner, Endowments Department, Kadapa. Meanwhile, W.V.M.P.No.1686 of 2006 filed by the respondents is also dismissed on 28.09.2007. Though counter-affidavit is filed, there is no answer to the averments made in the writ petition regarding issuance of prior notice but it is stated that the appointments are illegal. In view of the facts and circumstances of the case, without going into the merits of the case, the impugned order is set aside, on the ground of violation of principles of natural justice. Accordingly, this Writ Petition is allowed. However, as the respondents are claiming that the appointments of the petitioners

are illegal, it is open for the competent Authority to take appropriate action in accordance with law by issuing prior notice to the petitioners. No costs.

Miscellaneous petitions, pending if any, shall stand closed. ____________________ A.RAJASHEKER REDDY, J Date: 11-04-2016 pab HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE A.RAJASHEKER REDDY WRIT PETITION No.39117 of 2012 DATE:17.02.2016
