THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE G.CHANDRAIAH W.P.NO.407 OF 2004 O R D E R Heard both the counsel. 2. Aggrieved by the action of the respondent – Andhra Pradesh Residential Educational Institutions Society, (for short ‘the Society’) represented by its Secretary, in not ﬁnalizing the selection to the post of craft teachers pursuant to the notiﬁcation issued in Rc.No.3791/C3-2/99-2000-1 dated 17.9.2002, the present writ petition is ﬁled by the petitioners, who have applied for the said posts. 3. The case of the petitioners is that they all have passed S.S.C. and ITI in Handloom and Weaving Higher Grade besides certiﬁcate course in Weaving. The respondent – society has issued notiﬁcation in Rc.No.3791/C3-2/99-2001-1 dated 17.9.2002 calling for the applications for the post of craft teachers and in pursuance of the same, the petitioners have applied for the said posts. As the respondent – society is not ﬁnalizing the selections, they ﬁled representation on 23.10.2003, but there was no response. The respondent – society again issued notiﬁcation on 14.11.2003 calling for applications to diﬀerent posts, except for the post of craft teachers. As the respondents are not ﬁnalizing the selections pursuant to the notiﬁcation-dated 17.9.2002, the petitioners have filed the present writ petition. 4. The Secretary of the respondent – society ﬁled counter aﬃdavit and the tenor of the aﬃdavit is that due to administrative reasons the delay has taken place and that steps are being taken up for ﬁling up the craft teacher posts on priority basis. 5. From the above averments, it could be seen that the respondent – Society has issued notiﬁcation dated 17.9.2002 for ﬁling up the posts of craft teachers and it did not ﬁnalize the same and though it issued subsequent notiﬁcation dated 14.11.2003 for diﬀerent posts, the post of craft teachers were not included in the said notiﬁcation. The petitioners have submitted representation dated 23.10.2003, but there is no response. In the counter aﬃdavit it is stated that due to administrative reasons, the delay has occurred and that steps are being taken up ﬁlling up the posts on priority basis. 6. In view of the above circumstances, the writ petition is disposed of directing the respondent – Society to consider the representation of the petitioners dated 23.10.2003 requesting for ﬁnalizing the selection process pursuant to the notiﬁcation dated 17.9.2002 and pass appropriate orders within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order.
