Summary: A group of employees from the former Andhra Pradesh Administrative Tribunal want to be moved back to Telangana. They filed a request with the court but later took it back, hoping the rules might change in their favor.

The Petitioners' Request

The employees, including K Satyanarayana, S Venkat Swamy, B Nandu, and Md Yousuf, have been working as Record Assistants. They want to be moved back to Telangana after the Andhra Pradesh Administrative Tribunal was shut down. They believe their local ties and long service in Telangana support this request.

The Other Side

The other side in this case includes the states of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, along with the central government of India. The main issue is why K Satyanarayana, S Venkat Swamy, B Nandu, and Md Yousuf were assigned to Andhra Pradesh without considering their wish to be in Telangana.

What the Petitioners Asked For

K Satyanarayana, S Venkat Swamy, B Nandu, and Md Yousuf wanted the court to: - Cancel the decision that placed them in Andhra Pradesh. - Recognize that they belong to Telangana. - Order Telangana to take them back. - Say that what the other side did was unfair and not right.

Court Proceedings

The case was heard by Chief Justice Sri Aparesh Kumar Singh and Justice G.M. Mohiuddin. The petitioners' lawyer, Sri J. Nagaraja Rao, argued that moving them back to Telangana could happen due to a decision between the states.

"The request for reallocation is likely to be considered in view of some policy decision."

Withdrawal of the Petition

K Satyanarayana, S Venkat Swamy, B Nandu, and Md Yousuf decided to take back their request, hoping for a favorable change in rules. They kept the option to go back to court if things don't work out.

The Court's Decision

The court allowed them to take back their request, giving K Satyanarayana, S Venkat Swamy, B Nandu, and Md Yousuf the freedom to come back to court if needed. There were no costs ordered.

"The writ petition is dismissed as withdrawn with the aforesaid liberty."

This case highlights the complex issues of state reallocation and the hopes of employees caught in between.
