THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE R.SUBHASH REDDY WRIT PETITION No.8731 of 2010 ORDER: In this writ petition, petitioner, who is working as Upper Division Clerk (UDC) in the Electricity Revenue Office, Gudur, Nellore District, seeks a mandamus declaring the action of the Superintending Engineer, Operation Circle, APSPDCL, Nellore -second respondent, in taking steps for promoting respondents 4 and 5 to the post of Junior Accounts Officer (JAO) from the cadre of UDC, as illegal. It is stated that respondents 4 and 5 were initially recruited in the service of APSPDCL in the year 1996 as Lower Division Clerks and later, promoted to the post of UDC pursuant to Memo bearing No.SE/O/NLR/PO/Estt/U1/D.No.353/2005, dated 29.03.2005. It is the case of the petitioner that as much as respondents 4 and 5 entered into service based upon the bogus caste certificates, they cannot be promoted for the post of JAO and that the complaints were made to the employer, who referred the same to the District Collector for enquiry, which is pending. Learned counsel for the petitioner has placed on record, along with the writ petition, the Memo, dated 29.03.2005, wherein it is stated that the orders in respect of respondents 4 and 5 promoting them to the post of UDC from the cadre of LDC are subject to the final outcome of the enquiry before the District Collector, Nellore. Even according to the petitioner, the caste certificates issued to respondents 4 and 5 are in tact, no final orders are passed in the enquiry and they are seniors to him in the category of UDC. Merely because the enquiry is pending, there is no reason for the petitioner to seek a mandamus from this Court as prayed for. In that view of the matter, I do not find any merit in the writ petition, which is accordingly dismissed. No order as to costs. _______________________ R.SUBHASH REDDY, J 19th APRIL, 2010. kvni
