81. The State of Andhra Pradesh Rep. by its Principal Secretary Revenue (Endt.III) Dept., AP Secretariat, Hyderabad ...RESPONDENTS Counsel for the Petitioner(s): J SUDHEER Counsel for the Respondents: C SINDHU KUMARI The Court made the following: ORDER
2023:APHC:25815 THE HONOURABLE SMT. JUSTICE V.SUJATHA WRIT PETITION Nos.3661 of 2004 and 32197 of 2016
COMMON ORDER:
Since the issue involved in these two Writ Petitions is one and the same, I am of the view that it is appropriate to decide both the writ petitions by common order.
W.P. No.3661 of 2004:
The present Writ Petition came to be filed under Article
226 of the Constitution of India seeking the following relief:-
“….to issue a Writ, order or direction more particularly one in the nature of Writ of Mandamus declaring the action of the TTD management in treating the petitioners as Petty Contract Labourers, as arbitrary, discriminatory and illegal and consequently direct the respondents to regularize the services of the petitioners in the existing vacant posts held by them in S.V.Dairy Farm, TTD Tirupathi from the date of their initial appointment and with all other consequential benefits monetary and otherwise...”
W.P. No.32197 of 2016:
The present Writ Petition came to be filed under Article
226 of the Constitution of India seeking the following relief:-
2 2023:APHC:25815 “….to issue a Writ, Order or direction more particularly one in the nature of Writ of Mandamus declaring the action of the 1st Respondent in not considering the Petitioners case for regularization of their services in the existing sanctioned vacant posts in SV Gosamrakshana Shala TTDs Tirupathi and also not implementing the Revised Pay Scale 2015 to the Petitioners as arbitrary discriminatory and illegal and consequently direct the 15 Respondent to implement forthwith Revised Pay Scale 2015 to the Petitioners w.e.f.01.04.2015, without insisting permission from the Govt. and further direct the 1st Respondent to consider the Petitioners case for absorption and regularization of their services as has been done in respect of other similarly situated workers including TTD Colleges, Hostels workers in the light of the orders issued in G.O.Ms.No.2500 Revenue Endtt III Dept dt 20 11 2007 etc ignoring the condition stipulated in Proceedings RocNo C1126/SVGS/2007dt 26 12 2007 and Roc No C1114/SVGS/2008 dt 19 09 2008 and with all other consequential benefits monetary or otherwise and with all other consequential benefits monetary or otherwise...”
2. The brief facts of the case are that all the petitioners herein are working in the existing sanctioned vacant posts such as milk man, attenders etc. in S.V.Gosamrakshana Shala, previously known as S.V.Dairy Farm under the management of Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (for short ―TTD‖). They were initially paid daily wages, payable on monthly rate, directly by the 1st
3 2023:APHC:25815 respondent. Though the petitioners have been discharging their duties to the utmost satisfaction of their superiors without any adverse remarks and having put in considerable length of service, in the month of February, 2004, there was a threat of discontinuation of the petitioners with an intention to engage 3rd parties for the same duties and on the same terms and conditions as that of the petitioners. Under those circumstances, the petitioners have filed W.P.Nos.3661 of 2004, 4029 of 2004, 4923 of 2004 and 4926 of 2004.
3. This Court vide orders dated 27.02.2004 has passed an interim order in W.P.No.3661 of 2004 as under:
―There shall be interim direction to the 4th respondent to continue the petitioners in service, until further orders.”
4. As against 124 sanctioned posts in the Last Grade Service in S.V. Gosamrakshana shala, 20 regular employees were working and as such, the petitioners have been engaged to work in the remaining vacant posts. The nature of work in S.V. Gosamrakshana Shala is very arduous and the timings are very odd, where regular employees do not show willingness to work and seek transfer to some other department. The present Gosamrakshana Shala was called Goshala from the time immemorial and later, in the year 1956, it was changed as Dairy Farm. Milk is supplied to all the local TTDs Temples including
4 2023:APHC:25815 Srivari Temple at Tirumala, where milk has to be supplied by 4.30 AM for the purpose of Abhishekam and other ritu
