(1.) The petitioners in these three writ petitions, who are working in various departments of S.V. College of Music and Dance for over a decade, filed these writ petitions seeking regularisation of their services and for payment of time-scales of pay attached to the posts to them.
(2.) The said college was started by Tirumala Tirupathi Devasthanams about two decades back. Sri A.S. Girish, petitioner in W.P-No. 5593/1996, was appointed as a Lecturer in Vocal Music on 13-9-1991 due to the retirement of the incumbent on 24-2-1987, that is nearly after four years of the retirement of the incumbent, on part time basis without notifying the vacancy and without filling up the vacancy on regular basis even at that length of time. Since that date, the petitioner is working in that capacity at a remuneration of Rs. 20.00 per hour.
(3.) Sri K. Veera Narayana, petitioner in W.P.No. 14578/1996, was appointed as a Flute Lecturer on 2-12-1991 in a vacancy that had arisen as the incumbent left the services on 1-5-1984. In this case, the post was sought to be filled up on ad hoc basis having kept the post vacant for seven years.
