HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE NOOTY RAMAMOHANA RAO

¶2

WRIT PETITION No.20578 OF 1999

¶3

ORDER:

¶4

This writ petition has been instituted by one

¶5

Sri B.Reddappa working as Work Inspector with the Andhra Pradesh State Housing Corporation Limited, Hyderabad seeking a writ of mandamus for declaring the action of the respondents in not regularizing his services in terms of the policy decision announced by the State Government through their G.O.Ms.No.212, dated 22.04.1994.

¶6

I have heard Sri G.Vidya Sagar, learned counsel for the writ petitioner, and Sri K.Mohan Rami Reddy, learned standing counsel for the second respondent – A.P. State Housing Corporation Limited.

¶7

The learned standing counsel has brought to my notice a copy of the proceedings Rc.No.B/214/2009, dated 24.07.2009 passed by the District Collector and Executive Director of Andhra Pradesh State Housing Corporation Limited, Kadapa District imposing the punishments of (i) recovery of a sum of Rs.1,59,000/- said to have been misappropriated and (ii) terminating his services with immediate effect.

¶8

A copy of the proceedings referred to supra are taken on record. Since the relationship of master and servant has been brought to an end between the writ petitioner and the second respondent, to my mind the cause in the writ petition does not survive for any further adjudication. Unless and until the said relationship is restored, the question of considering the issue of regularizing the services of the writ petitioner would not arise. At that stage, Sri G.Vidya Sagar, learned counsel for the writ petitioner, would submit that depending upon the outcome of the

¶9

result of any appeal/writ petition that has been instituted against these proceedings, the right to seek regularization by the writ petitioner should be preserved.

¶10

It is needless to observe that if the orders, terminating the services of the writ petitioner, are set aside and if the writ petitioner were entertained back to service, the issue relating to regularization of his service would independently be examined and appropriate decision will be taken thereon.

¶11

The Writ Petition is, therefore, dismissed as infructuous. No costs.
