THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE NOOTY RAMAMOHANA RAO W.P.No.78 OF 2001 ORDER: This writ petition has been instituted by nine individuals complaining that their cases have not been considered for appointment to the posts of Mazdoors / Junior Plant Attandants / Sub-Engineers of the A.P. Genco (henceforth referred to as ‘the respondent Corporation’). The case of the petitioners is that they have responded to the notification issued on 02-02-1999, notifying 222 posts of Mazdoors / Junior Plant Attandants / Sub-Engineers of the A.P. Genco. Thereafter, selections were, initially, finalized in faovur of 112 contract labour and subsequently steps were also taken for filling up further 64 vacancies. Since, the claims of the writ petitioners have not been considered by the respondent Corporation in spite of the policy decisions taken in that regard, they instituted the present writ petition. The learned Standing Counsel for the respondent Corporation Sri K. Chidambaram has taken time on the last occasion to secure instructions as to whether the cases of the writ petitioners have been considered for appointment or not. Now, he has reported that the cases of the writ petitioners have all been considered and they were subjected to the process of selection by interview, but however, based upon the marks obtained by them when the merit list has been drawn, the writ petitioners could not make it to the merit list. It is, therefore, clear that the cases of the writ petitioners have been considered by the respondent Corporation, but however, they could not get selected because of their low merit rank. In view of this, the cause in the writ petition does not survive any further and hence, the writ petition is dismissed, but however, without costs. --------------------------------- Nooty Ramamohana Rao, J mrk 8th April 2010
