THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE G. BHAVANI PRASAD W.P.No.16036 of 2001 Date: 12.07.2006 Between: P. Sudhakar Reddy and another …. Petitioners And 1. Commissioner of Collegiate Edcuation, Government of A.P., Nampallay, Hyderabad. 2. The Correspondent, New Science College, Ameerpet, Hyderabad. 3. Mohd. Mahaboob Ali Khan, S/o not known Junior Assistant, New Science College, Ameerpet, Hyderabad. ….Respondents ORDER: This writ petition has been filed challenging the action of the respondents in promoting the third respondent as Junior Assistant vide proceedings Rc.No.1082/Admn.V-1/2001, dated 09.07.2001. Sri Mirja Shafiulla Baig, learned counsel, representing Sri Mohd. Zia-ul-Haque, learned counsel for the writ petitioners is heard. None appeared for the respondents. Even according to the affidavit filed in support of the writ petition, the third respondent is admittedly senior to the writ petitioners. It was specifically stated in the counter affidavit that the third respondent was fully qualified to hold the post of Junior Assistant by promotion, as per G.O.Ms.No.517, dated 29.10.1987. The State Government orders prescribed that those who were already in service prior to 15.12.1984 and those appointed in offices other than the Heads of Department and Directorates prior to 29.10.1987 shall be eligible for promotion as Junior Assistant, if they have passed SSC or any equivalent examination and completed five years of service. The third respondent was stated to be working from 04.02.1971 and he passed matriculation during the year 1974 and he is fully qualified to hold the post of Junior Assistant. Therefore, the alleged factual foundation for the writ petition does not exist. Even otherwise it was recorded by this Court on 12.07.2002 in W.P.M.P.No.20063 of 2001 that the learned counsel for the respondents represented that the petitioners are already promoted, in the light of which, the said petition was dismissed. In either view, the writ petition does not survive and it is, therefore, dismissed. No costs. _________________________ G. BHAVANI PRASAD, J Date: 12.07.2006 Ksn
