THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V. NAGARJUNA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.26246 of 1997 Dated: 21.3.2007 Between: P.Guru Linga Chary and another. … Petitioners AND The Regional Manager, APSRTC, Guntur Region, Guntur district. … Respondent THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V. NAGARJUNA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.26246 of 1997 ORDER: This writ petition is filed for a writ of mandamus to direct the respondent to add weightage marks for possessing driving license and Sports Certificate as per circulars of the Corporation in considering the petitioners for the post of Cleaner in the interviews to be held from 14.10.1997. In the affidavit filed in support of the writ petition the petitioners claim that since the respondent has not added extra marks for possessing Driving Licence, Sports Certificates etc., they have not received call letters and therefore they seek addition of these marks. In the counter affidavit filed on behalf of the respondent it is mentioned that the petitioners sent their application for the interview and the respondent sent call letters to the eligible candidates as per seniority in the ratio of 1:4 from out of 780 candidates sponsored by the Principal, Zonal Staff Training College, Gannavaram. It is further stated that the persons who underwent apprenticeship up to 1992 were called for interview while the petitioners who underwent apprenticeship in the year 1996 shall have to wait for their turn in future. As regards addition of bonus marks for possessing driving licence etc., it is stated that no such marks are provided in any of the circulars and notifications and that therefore petitioners are not entitled to any such marks. No reply affidavit has been filed by the petitioners. None appeared for the petitioners. Having regard to the uncontroverted averments in the counter affidavit, the petitioners, in the absence of placing on record any circulars providing for additional of bonus marks, are not entitled to the relief sought for in the writ petition. More over as the petitioners belong to 1997 batch of apprenticeship, the respondent appears to be justified in not calling them for interview as the candidates who received training up to the year 1992 were called for the interview. For the aforementioned reasons, the writ petition is devoid of merit and substance and hence the same is dismissed. No order as to costs. ___________________________ C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY,J Dt:21.3.2007 Mdaa.
