IN THE HIGH COURT FOR THE STATE OF TELANGANA AT HYDERABAD

THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE K.SARATH

W.P.No.9387 of 2026

Date:31.03.2026 Between:

P. Muthyam …Petitioner

And The Superintendent of Police, Karimnagar and others.

...Respondents

ORDER:

This Writ Petition is filed questioning the

order in C.No.05/RI-HG/KNR/09, Rc.No.19/2009 dated 01.08.2009 issued by the respondent No.1 as arbitrary and illegal and consequently consider the case of petitioner for re-enrollment/reinstatement to duty as Home Guard with all

consequential benefits.

2. Learned counsel for the petitioner, Sri D. Balakishan Rao, submits that without issuing any notice, the petitioner was removed from service and therefore the impugned order

dated 01.08.2009 is bad in law.

3. Learned Government Pleader for Services-Home appearing for the respondents submits that the removal order was passed

2 SK, J W.P.No.9387 of 2026

in the year 2009, whereas the petitioner has approached this Court in the year, 2026 and no reasons have been given by the petitioner explaining for the inordinate delay and therefore, the Writ Petition has to be dismissed on the ground of delay. Learned Government Pleader further submits that in similar circumstances, this Court also dismissed W.P.No.27726 of 2022

dated 05.07.2022.

4. Learned Counsel for the petitioner however submits that the petitioner had been running around the authorities and only when he was orally informed that his case cannot be considered, he has approached this Court by filing the present Writ Petition. Learned Counsel has placed reliance upon the Judgment of this Court in W.P.No.35460 of 2013 and batch

dt.08.06.2018 in support of his case.

5. After hearing both sides and perusing the material on record, this Court is of the considered view that the petitioner and others were removed from service for unauthorized absence, tendered resignations and exhibited gross misconduct in further investigation. The petitioner was removed from service on 01.08.2009 along with others and he has not filed any appeal or review or revision, but has approached this Court

3 SK, J W.P.No.9387 of 2026

directly in the year, 2026 by filing the present Writ Petition which is clearly with inordinate delay. This Court finds that the judgment relied on by the learned counsel petitioner would apply only if the case is considered on merits. The order relied on by the learned Government Pleader for Services-Home in W.P.No.27726 of 2022 dated 05.07.2022 squarely apply to the facts of the instant case. Since this writ petition has been filed with long delay and without giving any reasons for the delay and without explaining reasons for his unauthorised absence from duties, this Court does not find any merit in this Writ

Petition.

6. The Writ Petition is accordingly dismissed at the admission

stage on account of inordinate delay. No order as to costs.

7. Miscellaneous petitions, if any pending in this writ petition,

shall stand closed.
