IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE, ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD (Special Original Jurisdiction) MONDAY, THE FIFTH DAY OF MARCH TWO THOUSAND AND SEVEN PRESENT THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE J.CHELAMESWAR AND THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE P.SWAROOP REDDY WRIT PETITION No.2842 OF 2007 Between: District Treasury Officer, Kurnool and others. ..... PETITIONERS AND K.Arunamma ....RESPONDENT THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE J.CHELAMESWAR AND THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE P.SWAROOP REDDY WRIT PETITION No.2842 OF 2007 O R D E R (Per Sri Justice J.Chelameswar) Aggrieved by an order in O.A.No.3660 of 2004, dated 24th February, 2005 of the A.P. Administrative Tribunal, the respondents therein preferred the present writ petition. The writ petition, in our view, is required to be dismissed on more than one ground that there is an inordinate delay in approaching this Court, and therefore, the writ petition is barred by laches. Apart from that, even on merits, the sole respondent herein, who was appointed as Junior Accountant in the District Treasury Office, Kurnool, on compassionate ground as her husband died in harness while serving the State of A.P., was sought to be appointed in the lower post of Attender on the ground that she could not comply with one of the conditions stipulated at the time of appointment i.e. acquiring a certificate in Typewriting English Higher Grade within the stipulated time. The Tribunal by an order under challenge recorded that though she could not acquire the requisite qualifications mentioned above within the stipulated time, she did in fact acquired the subsequent qualifications, and therefore, allowed the O.A. We do not see any merit in the writ petition and the same is dismissed at the admission stage itself. ----------------------------------- JUSTICE J.CHELAMESWAR -------------------------------------- JUSTICE P.SWAROOP REDDY 5th MARCH, 2007 PGS THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE J.CHELAMESWAR AND THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE P.SWAROOP REDDY WRIT PETITION No.2842 OF 2007 (Per Sri Justice J.Chelameswar) 5TH MARCH, 2007
