THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.23940 of 2010 ORDER: The petitioner claims to have worked as Contract Labour in three spells i.e. between 1988-1992, 1992-1993 and 1993-1997. The erstwhile A.P. Electricity Board framed a Scheme for absorption of Contract Labour. B.P.Ms.Nos.37 and 312, dated 18.05.1997 and dated 24.02.1998 respectively, were issued stipulating the guidelines. The petitioner was issued call letters in the process, twice in the year 1997. However, he did not appear. He made representations, dated 13.10.2008 and 15.10.2009, to the respondents with a prayer to absorb him as Sub-Engineer. This writ petition is filed complaining that no action has been taken by the respondents. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Standing Counsel for the respondents. It was way back in the year 1997-98 that the Scheme was framed for absorption of Contract Labour. The respondents did find the petitioner eligible to be considered and accordingly issued call letters twice. On both the occasions, he did not attend the interview. The implementation of the Scheme was concluded long ago and thereafter, fresh appointments were made. At this length of time, the question of considering the case of the petitioner does not arise. The writ petition is accordingly dismissed. There shall be no order as to costs. _______________________ L.NARASIMHA REDDY,J Dt: 28.09.2010. kdl
