HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE ABHINAND KUMAR SHAVILI WRIT PETITION No.18565 of 2018 ORDER:

This writ petition is disposed of at the stage of admission with the consent of both the parties.

This writ petition is filed seeking the following relief :- " ..... to issue an appropriate Writ, Order of direction, preferably one in the nature of Writ of Mandamus and to issue a direction, order or writ more particularly one in the nature of Writ of Mandamus to declare the action of the respondents in not considering the cases of the petitioners for providing employment as NMRs / Daily Wage Labourers under the control of Respondents as per the Judgments of the Honorable Supreme Court of India in W.P.No.793/ 1987 and batch, dated 25.08.1987 and W.P.No.97/ 1988 dated 01.12.1994 as is highly illegal, arbitrary, unreasonable, discriminatory and also in violation of Arts.

14, 16 and 21 of the Constitution of India and declare the same as bad in law and consequently direct the respondents to consider the cases of the petitioners as NMRs / Daily Wage Labourers under the control of Respondents......" Heard Mr.C.Raja Sekhar Reddy, the learned counsel for the petitioners and the learned Government Pleader for Services-II. It has been contended by the petitioners that they were appointed as NMR workers with the respondents during the year 1972 and continued upto 1984. Later, their services were disengaged. The petitioners contend that their cases have to be considered for re-engagement in terms of the judgments of the Hon'ble Supreme Court in W.P.No.793/ 1987 and batch, dated 25.08.1987 and W.P.No.97/ 1988 dated 01.12.1994.

But, the respondents are not considering their cases for re-engaging them as NMR workers. The petitioners have submitted a representation to

the respondents on 08.11.2017 requesting to re-engage them as NMR workers. But, so far, the respondents have not passed any orders on the said representation nor re-engaged them as NMR workers.

Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that appropriate orders be passed in the writ petition directing the respondents to consider the representation submitted by the petitioners on 08.11.2017 and pass appropriate orders in accordance with law. Learned Government Pleader appearing for the respondents has contended that since the representation of the petitioners is pending, the respondents would consider the same and pass appropriate orders in accordance with law.

This Court, having considered the rival submissions made by the learned counsel for the respective parties, is of the considered view that this writ petition can be disposed of directing the respondents to consider the representation submitted by the petitioners on 08.11.2017 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, the writ petition is disposed of. No order as to costs.

Pending miscellaneous petitions, if any, shall stand closed. ____________________________ ABHINAND KUMAR SHAVILI, J Date: 05-12-2019 Prv
