HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE GHULAM MOHAMMED WRIT PETITION NO. 3764 OF 2000 Between: P. Siva Lingappa S/o Venkateswarlu aged about 19 years an three others ..... PETITIONERS AND Central Reserve Police Force represented by its Director General, New Delhi and three others .....RESPONDENTS ORAL ORDER: This Writ Petition has been filed in the nature of Writ of Mandamus declaring the action of the respondents in cancelling the selection for the posts of Constables (General Duty) in the respondent organisation in pursuance of the notification in Employment News dated 29.5.1999 to 4.6.1999 as illegal and consequently direct the respondents to permit the petitioners to discharge their duties as Constables (General Duty) in the respondent organisation. Petitioners herein were fully qualified for the posts of Constables (General Duty) and they were subjected to some tests conducted by Selection Board of Recruitment Centres and having come out successfully, were issued orders of appointment on 19th July 2000 and they have joined duties on 9.8.1999 in the second respondent’s Office viz., the Inspector General of Police, Southern Sector Central Reserve Police Force, Hyderabad. While so, it is stated that the respondents have orally informed the petitioners that they must go home and come back after receiving call letters from them. The main grievance of the petitioners is that they were not even put on notice before asking them to leave the premises nor was any opportunity given to them before such action has been taken. Heard the learned counsel appearing for both sides and also perused the entire material made available on record. As seen from the record, the second respondent published a notification in the Employment News dated 29.5.199 to 4.6.1999 and in response to the same, the petitioners applied and selected and were given appointment orders on 19th July 2000 and they joined duties on 9.8.1999. On joining duty, petitioners have to undergo a basic training and physical training and for that they were issued identification numbers called ‘Force Numbers’. After that the respondents asked the petitioners to go back and come after receiving call letters from them without issuing any notice or without being given any opportunity to them. It is clear from the proceedings of the Inspector General of Police, S/Sector, CRPF, Hyderabad that two merit lists sent vide DIGP, CRPF, Hyd, letters No. R.II-3/99- Estt-V (1st H/Y) dated 23 July 99 and No. R. II-3/99-Estt-V dated 5 August 99 and all follow up action as a result of any and both of these combined merit lists were held null and void. As such, the whole process stands cancelled. Be that as it may, this Writ Petition is misconceived inasmuch petitioners have no right to question the cancellation of selection process of the respondents. It is purely a prerogative and domain of the employer either to proceed with the selection or to cancel the selection process. Therefore, I see no reasons to entertain the Writ Petition under Article 226 of the Constitution of India. Accordingly, the Writ Petition is dismissed. There shall be no order as to costs. _____________________________ GHULAM MOHAMMED, J DATE: 02.12.2010 KA ... REGISTRAR // TRUE COPY // SECTION OFFICER To 1. 2 CD copies.
