When the matter came up for hearing on 12.3.2007, learned counsel for the petitioners submitted that the qualification which the petitioners are having i.e. Intermediate (Vocational) Course in RET is equivalent to the Electrical Trade of ITI and that since the petitioners are already working as Apprentice Trainees and Electrical Workers under the respondents, they are entitled to be appointed as Junior Lineman. Therefore, the learned standing counsel was directed to obtain instructions in the matter. Thereafter, the matter underwent several adjournments. The respondents have not filed counter affidavit. However, today, when the matter came up for hearing, learned standing counsel appearing for the respondents concedes that the qualification which the petitioners are having is equivalent to ITI Electrical Trade and that the petitioners are entitled to be considered for the post of Junior Lineman and in view of the fact that interviews are already over, a direction may be given to the respondents to interview the petitioners also for the post of Junior Lineman. In view of the submission made by the learned standing counsel, the writ petition is disposed of directing the respondents to interview the petitioners and consider their cases for the post of Junior Lineman along with eligible persons. With the above direction, the writ petition is disposed of. No costs. ___________________ N.V. RAMANA, J. Date: 15.06.2007 msv
