THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE R.SUBHASH REDDY WRIT PETITION No.9962 of 2010 ORDER: In this writ petition, petitioners, who claim that they worked on casual basis in Andhra Pradesh State Electricity Board (for short ‘the Board’) during different periods from 1992 to 1997, seek a mandamus declaring the action of the respondents in not considering their cases for regular appointment in suitable posts, as illegal and arbitrary. The claim of the petitioners is based on the orders issued by the Board in B.P.Ms.No.37, dated 18.05.1997. During the course of hearing, it is submitted by the learned Standing Counsel for the respondents that the said B.P.Ms.No.37, dated 18.05.1997, was already withdrawn by the Board in 2006 itself. In that view of the matter and in the absence of any notification for filling up of the vacancies, there is no basis for the claim of the petitioners to seek absorption. Therefore, the writ petition is devoid of merit and is accordingly, dismissed. No order as to costs. ______________________ R.SUBHASH REDDY, J 29th APRIL, 2010. kvni
