A.Suri Babu, v. State Of Telangana

HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE ABHINAND KUMAR SHAVILI WRIT PETITON No.34767 of 2018 O R D E R:

When the writ petition came up for hearing, both the counsel appeared and with their consent, the writ petition is disposed of at the stage of admission.

2.

All the petitioners were appointed as Panchayat Secretaries in various Districts of Telangana State during the year 2014 and till date they have been working in the same stations where they were posted initially. When the petitioners were appointed, there were only ten Districts and accordingly, they were appointed in those Districts, which are not their native Districts. Thereafter, in the year, 2016, the Government had bifurcated ten Districts of Telangana State into 31 Districts. Due to ban on transfers, the petitioners were not allowed to go to the newly formed districts, to which they belong to, in general transfers. 3.

The case of the petitioners is that the Government without finalizing the issue of allocation of petitioners' services in the newly cropped out 31 Districts, (i.e., to their native Districts), the respondents are undertaking recruitment process by issuing impugned notification dated 31.08.2018 and that if the

AKS, J WP_34767_2018 01.10.2018 recruitment process is allowed to finalize, the case of the petitioners would be squarely jeoparadised.

Therefore, petitioners submitted a representation dated 01.09.2018 and the same is pending for consideration before the Government till date.

4.

Heard Dr.P.B.Vijaya Kumar, learned counsel for petitioners and learned Government Pleader for Services-II appearing for respondent.

5.

Learned Government Pleader for Services-II appearing for respondent-Government would contend that the issue of allocating the petitioners in the newly cropped out 31 Districts is altogether different matter to that of issuing notification to fill up the posts of Panchayat Secretaries. Further, the respondents after identification of the vacant posts of Panchayat Secretaries in various Districts of Telangana State, issued the impugned notification dated 31.08.2018 and that petitioners cannot stall the recruitment process for one reason or the other and that therefore there are no merits in the writ petition and the same is liable to be dismissed.

AKS, J WP_34767_2018 01.10.2018 6.

After considering the submissions made by both the counsel and perusing the material on record, this court is of the considered view that since the petitioners submitted a representation dated 01.09.2018 and the same is pending before the Government for consideration, without expressing any opinion on merits, the writ petition is disposed of direct the respondents to consider the representation dated 01.09.2018 submitted by the petitioners and pass orders within a period of four weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of the order. 7.

With the above observations, the writ petition is disposed of at the stage of admission. No costs.

8.

Miscellaneous Petitions, if any, pending in this writ Petition shall stand closed.
