Counsel for the respondents: Sri N.S.Pattabhi Rama Rao for Sri Nandigam Krishna Rao. This Court made the following: ORDER:- This Writ Petition is filed for a Writ of Mandamus to direct the respondents to issue orders of appointment to the petitioners in terms of proceedings No.BPA/PER/165/4049, dated 10/11-11-2008 of respondent No.3. Heard Sri P.Basavaiah, learned counsel representing Sri K.Vasudeva Reddy, learned counsel for the petitioners, and Sri N.Pattabhi Rama Rao, learned counsel representing Sri Nandigam Krishna Rao, learned Standing Counsel for the respondents. The grievance of the petitioners in this Writ Petition, who are working as Badli Coal Fillers at Goleti-I Incline of respondent No.1-Company, is that though they were subjected to written test and interview for being considered to the post of Survey Mazdoor in Category-I, no appointment orders are being issued to them. In the counter-affidavit filed on behalf of the respondents, it is, inter alia, mentioned that as per the notification issued on 27-9-2008, the General Mazdoors, who passed 7th class or Badli Fillers, who have put in 190/240 musters with 7th class qualification are eligible for being appointed as Survey Mazdoors in Category-I; that the petitioners were subjected to selection process in pursuance of the said notification; that under Circular No.CRP/PER/R/02/05/600 dated 14- 11-2008 Survey Mazdoor in Category-I was made centralized post prescribing minimum qualification of intermediate or its equivalent examination; and that, therefore, the selection process initiated in pursuance of notification dated 27-9-2008 was cancelled, vide proceedings dated 17/18-11-2008 of the respondents. At the hearing learned counsel for the respondents placed before the Court the said circular. The fact that the entire selection process was cancelled by the said circular was not controverted by the learned counsel for the petitioners. Therefore, the relief claimed in the present writ Petition cannot be granted. However, if the petitioners feel aggrieved by cancellation of the selection process, they are free to avail their remedies in that regard. Subject to the above observations, the Writ Petition is dismissed. As a sequel to dismissal of the Writ Petition, WPMP No.1113 of 2009 is dismissed as infructuous. ------------------------------------ C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY,J Date:30-3-2009 MNR
