The District Employment Exchange Officer, Machilipatnam, Krishna Dist And another ….. Respondents THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE RAMESH RANGANATHAN WRIT PETITION No.11483 of 2005 ORAL ORDER: The relief sought for in this writ petition is for a direction to call the petitioner for interview for appointment to the post of operator without insisting that his name be sponsored by the employment exchange. As held by the Supreme Court in Excise Superintendent, Malkapatnam, Krishna District v. K.B.N.Visweswara Rao restricting selection and appointment of candidates, only from those whose names are sponsored by the employment exchange is not proper and wide publicity should be given so that other eligible candidates can also be considered. This Court, by order in W.P.M.P.14706 of 2005 dated 18.5.2002, passed an interim order directing that the petitioner be called for interview but that his results not be declared and that the result be kept in a sealed cover. In as much the petitioner is entitled to be considered for selection and to be appointed, if he is otherwise eligible, the respondents are directed to open the sealed cover and give effect thereto. The writ petition is accordingly disposed of. No costs. __________ 27-4-2006 asp
