Yogi Vemana University, Kadapa represented by its Registrar Yogi Vemana University,Vemanapuram, Kadapa - 516003 ...Respondents Counsel for the Petitioner: GP FOR HIGHER EDUCATION Counsel for the Respondents: . Counsel for the Respondents: KAVITHA GOTTIPATI The Court made the following: 11 THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE D.RAMESH AND THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE A.HARI HARANADHA SARMA WRIT APPEAL Nos.435 and 613 of 2025 COMMON JUDGMENT: (Per Hon’ble Sri Justice D.Ramesh) Both the appeals have been filed aggrieved by the orders dated 24.10.2024 passed by the learned Single Judge in W.P.No.5710 of 2013, wherein the learned Single Judge has considered the issue and disposed of the matter with the following directions: “13. The first respondent, instead of disposing of the reference of the second respondent university within the shortest possible time after the resolution of its executive committee, referred the matter to the Government for consideration of regularization of the petitioners in the year 2013. The first respondent has slept over the matter and passed an order on 16.04.2021 rejecting the claim of the petitioners. The belated orders passed by the Government are not only detrimental to the service of the petitioners but also unknown to the service jurisprudence. The belated rejection of the case of the petitioners has to put the petitioners’ careers at stake. Such belated orders of the government deserve to be set aside. 14. Hence, the proceedings dated 07.02.2013 issued by the second respondent and the proceedings dated 16.04.2021 issued by the first respondent are hereby set aside. The respondents shall issue necessary orders in 12 pursuance of the proceedings dated 12.10.2012 issued by the second respondent to each of the petitioners who are in service as on date, within a period of four weeks from the date of receipt of the order.” 2. The main grievance of the appellants is that the learned Single Judge has failed to consider the orders passed by the State on 16.04.2021. The said writ petition was allowed on the ground of laches on the part of the respondents/appellants herein as the regularization proposals sent by the University in the year 2013 were considered by the State and rejected on 16.04.2021 after lapse of eight years. 3. Learned Government Pleader appearing on behalf of the State as well as the University contended that in fact the State, while considering the proposals of the University, has examined the matter based on the records and in accordance with the Andhra Pradesh (Regulation of Appointments to Public Services and Rationalization of Staff Pattern and Pay Structure) Act 2 of 1994 and rejected the claims of the respondents/petitioners, except two persons those who were in accordance with the provisions of the said Act. It was also brought to the notice of the Court that the Government has already permitted the University to regularize the services of the respondents/petitioners in terms 13 of the proposals sent in the year 2013 with its own financial cost. Based on the said directions, the University has implemented the same and regularized the services of the respondents/petitioners and their salaries were also released. As far as the arrears are concerned, the University has intimated the respondents/ petitioners that the same would be released in installments. 4. The said facts were conceded by the learned counsel for the respondents/petitioners. 5. In the said circumstances, this Court is not inclined to go into the merits of the cases. 6 Accordingly, both the Writ Appeals are disposed of granting liberty to the University to release the arrears expeditiously in four quarterly installments. There shall be no order as to costs. As a sequel, miscellaneous petitions pending, if any, shall stand closed. _______________________ JUSTICE D.RAMESH ___________________________________________ JUSTICE A.HARI HARANADHA SARMA Date: 17.08.2026 Ivd 14 Whether the order is: Speaking Yes Reasoned No Reportable No Non-reportable Yes 15 THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE D.RAMESH AND THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE A.HARI HARANADHA SARMA WRIT APPEAL Nos.435 and 613 of 2025 Dated: 17.08.2026 Ivd
