The Court at the stage of admission made the following: THE HON’BLE Dr. JUSTICE G.YETHIRAJULU W.P.NO.12054 OF 2004 ORDER: The petitioner is working as a temporary Paricharika in the second respondent-temple. The petitioner submits that the first respondent through the proceedings in RC.No.A1/62565/1997, dated 25.04.2001, has constituted a selection committee for selection of the candidates for the post of Paricharika and the committee selected two persons on the recommendation of the Executive Officer and also kept a panel of candidates including the petitioner at Serial No.1 for the post of Paricharika for appointment in future vacancies. The petitioner further submits that the second respondent notified fifteen(15) Paricharika posts calling for applications through the notification dated 23.06.2004. In pursuance of the said notification, the petitioner made an application along with other candidates. The petitioner apprehends that the second respondent is likely to ignore the panel of selected candidates recommended by the selection committee and proceed with the present selection and in such an event, he may not get the Paricharika post though he is serving in the said institution since five years. The petitioner, therefore, approached this Court seeking direction to the respondents to consider his application also, by keeping in view his experience as a temporary Paricharika and the recommendation of the selection committee, dated 25.04.2001. In the light of the circumstances explained by the petitioner, the second respondent is directed to consider the case of the petitioner along with other candidates by keeping in view of his experience as a temporary Paricharika and the list of selected candidates recommended by the selection committee through the proceedings dated 25.04.2001. The writ petition is accordingly disposed of. No order as to costs. ___________________ (Dr.G.YETHIRAJULU, J) Dated 11th August, 2004. YCR To 1. Commissioner of Endowments, Hyderabad. 2.
