THE HON’BLE ACTING CHIEF JUSTICE SRI GHULAM MOHAMMED AND THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE NOOTY RAMAMOHANA RAO WRIT APPEAL NO.748 OF 2011 JUDGMENT: (Per HACJ) This writ appeal is instituted against the order dated 05.09.2011 passed in W.P.MP.No.18063 of 2011 and WVMP.No.3237 of 2011 in W.P.No.15035 of 2011, passed by the learned single Judge of this Court. By the impugned order, the learned single Judge has made the stay absolute and directed that the 1st respondent-Executive Officer, TTD, shall fill the post of Deputy Executive Engineer strictly in accordance with the relevant rules stipulating that any appointment/promotion shall be subject to the result of the writ petition. Challenging the said order, the present writ appeal is filed. 2. The selection and appointment of the appellant as Deputy Executive Engineer (Elec.), by the T.T.D.-Respondent No.1 are challenged by the respondent No.1 herein. Earlier, entertaining the writ petition, an interim stay was granted by this Court observing that the petitioner herein did not put in the stipulated length of service in the feeder category. However, reliance was placed upon G.O.Ms.No.627 dated 21.12.1983. The learned single Judge found that the G.O. prima facie applies to the cases where specific rule does not exist for an organization or department and that the matter is covered by ad hoc rules. The rules framed by the Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanam that, for being considered for promotion to the post of Deputy Executive Engineer, an Assistant Executive Engineer (Elecl) must have put in five years of service by those who possess BE (Elect) or B.E., (Electronics) degree. The rule does not provide for the candidates to possess B.E., (Electronics and Communications Engineering). Even this qualification is not of help and hence, in the circumstances, interim stay granted was made absolute. 3. We do not find any infirmity in the order passed by the learned single Judge in WPMP No. 18063 of 2011 in WP No. 15035 of 2011. The writ appeal is dismissed. However, we deem it appropriate to expedite the hearing of the writ petition. Post the writ petition for final hearing immediately after Sankranti Vacations, 2012. ---------------------------------------------------- Acting Chief Justice Ghulam Mohammed, J --------------------------------- Nooty Ramamohana Rao, J knk 8th November 2011
