While matter stood thus, the Director General, WALAMTARI, has
issued proceedings No 8247/Team-8/HRM/2012, DATED 13-3-2014 that in

view of the bifurcation of the State, it was decided to dispense with our
services and accordingly we were issued with one month notice cum
termination order and it was informed that on completion of notice period,
our services shall stand relieved. Our names are figuring at Sl. No. 1, 2, 3,
4, 5, 6, 8, 12, 13 & 14 of the impugned proceedings. Our dates of initial
appointment and date of expiry of the persons contract was also specified in
the said proceedings. In view of the proceedings dated 13-3-2014, the
Superintending Engineers under whom we have been working have issued
the said Notices. Although, one month period has not expired, we are under
threat of termination without any further proceedings. Aggrieved by the
said proceedings, we are constrained to approach this Hon'ble Court for
appropriate relief.
7
9.
It is submitted that the impugned action of terminating our services
solely on the premise that bifurcation of the Sate is wholly irrational and
arbitrary. As submitted supra, our services are taken as per the provisions of
the Act 11 of 1997. Our services are found to be commendable for the
farmers community. We are also acting as Coordinators of the farmers with
the line departments. Therefore, dispensing with our services only in view
of the State bifurcation is arbitrary and illegal. The bifurcation of the State
does not have any bearing with regard to the implementation of the
provisions of the Act 11 of 1997 and the policies evolved by the State
Government from time to time.
10.
It is submitted that one of the activity we undertaken is training to
farmers. The activity of the APILIP is one of the activities and the said
activity is funded by Japan International Co-operation Agency.
They
provide funds only for the expenditure incurred to the training of the
farmers. Our salaries are borne by the State Government from the funds
allocated, since we perform various other activities in addition to the
training of the Water User Association Office bearers. Thus, there is no
impediment in continuing our services. Thus, the action of the Respondents
proposing to terminate our services solely on the basis of bifurcation of the
State is illegal and arbitrary. There is no decision taken by the respective
State Governments to dispense with the provisions of Act 11 of 1997.
11.
It is submitted that there is a lot of changes in the farmers approach
towards utilization of water and its better management as it has also earned
commend form various agencies including the foreign agencies. Solely on
the premise that bifurcation of the State of Andhra Pradesh is in progress,
our services cannot be terminated.
12.
All other grounds that would be urged at the time of hearing of the
case.
13.
We have not filed any other petition or initiated any other legal
proceedings seeking the relief claimed in the present petition.
8
14.
Having no other alternative efficacious remedy except to invoke the
extra ordinary jurisdiction of this Hon'ble High Court under Article 226 of
the Constitution of India for redressal of our grievances.
Pending disposal of the Writ Petition it is therefore prayed that this
Honble Court may be pleased to direct the Respondents to continue the
Petitioners in service by suspending the proceedings No 8247/Team8/HRM/2012, DATED 13-3-2014 issued by the Respondents and pass such
other order or orders as this Hon'ble Court may deem fit and proper in the
interest of justice.

a writ, order or direction more particularly one in the nature of Writ of
Mandamus or any other appropriate writ (i) declare the proceedings No
8247/Team-8/HRM/2012, DATED 13-3-2014 issued by the Respondents as
