HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE R. SUBHASH REDDY WRIT PETITION No.5060 of 2010 Dated: 05-03-2010 Between: Mathe Suresh. … Petitioner And State of Andhra Pradesh, rep. by its Principal Secretary, Women Development, Child Welfare and Disabled Welfare Department & another. … Respondents HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE R. SUBHASH REDDY WRIT PETITION No.5060 of 2010 ORDER: In this writ petition, the petitioner has questioned the validity of the Notification, dated 09.09.2009, issued by the 2nd respondent-Cooperative Society, inviting applications to fill up three vacancies of Clerks on consolidated pay, reserving two posts to the OC women and one post for BC-A Women categories. 2. In this writ petition, it is the grievance of the petitioner that in view of the orders of Government in G.O.Ms.No.56, dated 02.12.2002, one post should have been reserved to the physically disabled persons. A perusal of the said G.O. shows that instructions were issued by the Government, to the recruiting agencies to the effect that, where, if all relevant factors in the recruitment are equal, preference in employment shall be given to the disabled persons having higher degree of disability. Merely based on the aforesaid G.O., which gives only preference to the disabled persons, no illegality can be found in the impugned notification for not reserving a post for the disabled persons. It is also to be noted that the said G.O. cannot be applied to the 2nd respondent, which is a Co-operative Society. 3. For the aforesaid reasons, I do not find any merit in the writ petition, which is accordingly dismissed. No order as to costs. ______________________ R. SUBHASH REDDY, J 5th March 2010 ajr
