THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE N.V. RAMANA W.P. No. 7157 of 2003 Oral order: The petitioners assailing the action of the respondents in not selecting and appointing them as Sub-Engineer and LDC respectively filed the present writ petition. When the writ petition is taken up for hearing, neither the petitioners nor their counsel are present nor is there any representation on their behalf. However, the learned Standing Counsel for the respondents submitted that grievance of the petitioners in the writ petition is that the respondents have not passed any speaking orders with regard to their non-selection, and that this Court disposed of several writ petitions with similar grievance with a direction to the respondents to pass speaking orders with respect to non-selection. In the circumstances, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the writ petition with the following directions: The respondents are directed to pass appropriate speaking orders with respect to non-selection and appointment of the petitioners, if not already passed, within a period of six weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of. No costs. ________________ N.V. RAMANA, J. Dated: 28th December, 2006. KSR
