KARUNAKAR REDDY v. REGISTRAR, OSMANIA UNIVERSITY, HYDERABAD & OTHERS[1] wherein it was held as under: “Having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case, I consider it appropriate to direct the University to permit the writ petitioners to participate in the process of selection and consider their cases for regular appointments, provided they possess the requisite qualification after relaxing the age of those writ petitioners who have crossed the age limit for seeking appointment as Assistant Professors/Lecturers. The University shall take an appropriate decision in the matter and accordingly relax the age limit and shall bear in mind the same while issuing the notification inviting applications from the eligible candidates for selection and appointment as Assistant Professors/Lecturers in various departments. I make it clear that the writ petitioners will have to face the competition and shall have to compete with others for their selection and appointment as Assistant Professors/Lecturers. The University while issuing the notification shall take all the relevant factors into consideration including the roster points.” Therefore, this Writ Petition can be disposed of in terms of the said aforementioned judgment. However, it is stated that the respondent-University has already taken a decision and passed resolution and is intending to address the Government seeking permission for notifying the vacancies. Therefore, the Registrar of Kakatiya University is directed to address a letter to the Government seeking permission to notify the vacancies within a period of two months from today. On receipt of such letter from the University, the 3rd respondent shall complete the process of permission as per law and communicate the same to the University within three months thereafter. Accordingly, this Writ Petition is disposed of in terms of the above Judgment. No order as to costs. 14-02-2008 prk [1] 2004(6) ALD 119
