It is stated in the affidavit filed in support of the writ petition that the petitioner was native and resident of Obularajupalle Village, B.Matham Mandal, Kadapa District. The Government acquired the lands in six villages of B.Matham Mandal for the purpose of construction of Telugu Ganga Project, which includes Obularajupalle Village. The lands of the petitioner were acquired for the said purpose during the year 1983-84 and Awards were passed during the year 1986-87. The possession of the lands was taken and the petitioner is displaced from the village during the year 2005. The petitioner filed an application for consideration of his case for appointment as per G.O.Ms.No.98, dated 15.04.1986, against the vacancies reserved for the displaced persons under the said G.O. The list of eligible displaced persons was prepared by the District Collector and the petitioner was placed at Serial No.3 out of 210 eligible displaced persons and the same was forwarded to the Chief Engineer, who in turn forwarded the same to respondent No.1 for approval in terms of G.O.Ms.Nos.44 and 247, dated 29.12.2008. Respondent No.1 approved the list of displaced persons for providing employment vide Memo, dated 31.10.2009, and petitioner was placed at Serial No.2 in the said list. When the petitioner was expecting appointment, respondent No.3 published the impugned list of 41 candidates on 10.01.2010 stating that he is ineligible for employment, as the Revenue Divisional Officer, Rajampet reported that his brother is working as Government Teacher. The petitioner submitted his objections stating that his brother was given in adoption to his paternal uncle, who has no children, through a registered adoption deed, dated 19.11.2001, and hence, he cannot be denied employment on that sole ground. Hence, the writ petition. 3. Respondent No.3 filed a counter-affidavit stating that during the re- enquiry, it has been found that the brother of the petitioner is a Government Teacher and this fact has been concealed by the petitioner during the earlier enquiry; that as the brother of the petitioner is an earning member and receiving salary from the Government, the name of the petitioner has been deleted from the list of eligible candidates, in terms of Para 4(11) of G.O.Ms.No.98 dated 15.04.1986. 4. Learned counsel for the petitioner contended that the petitioner is one of the displaced persons relating to Telugu Ganga Project and as one member from each family of the displaced persons is entitled to a Government job, the petitioner is entitled for the same. 5. As a matter of fact, in the first instance, when the revenue officials conducted an enquiry, they found that the petitioner is not eligible to the Government job because his brother is already working as a Government Teacher. But admittedly, it came to light that the petitioner’s brother, who is working as a Government Teacher, has been given adoption to the paternal uncle of the petitioner. Therefore, the petitioner is eligible to be given an appointment. The Government prepared a list of eligible persons after due verification by the Revenue Divisional Officer, Rajampet and Special Deputy Collector, Telugu Ganga Project Unit, Rajampet. Petitioner’s name was found in the list. Therefore, in view of the fact that the petitioner is fit to be given an appointment as a displaced person, the respondents are directed to consider the case of the petitioner for appointment to any suitable post within a period of two (2) months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. 6. With the above direction, the Writ Petition is disposed of. There shall be no order as to costs. _​_____________________ JUSTICE K.C.BHANU 24th November, 2011 AMD THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE K.C.BHANU W.P.No.4377 OF 2010 Date:24.11.2011 AMD
