THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE SANJAY KUMAR WRIT PETITION NO.25 OF 2005 DATED 27TH NOVEMBER, 2009. BETWEEN M.Murali Mohan And Others … Petitioners and The Senior Manager (HR/RMX/BHEL), Heavy Power Equipment Plant, Ramachandrapuram, Hyderabad-032 And Another … Respondents THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE SANJAY KUMAR WRIT PETITION NO.25 OF 2005 O R D E R This writ petition was filed by four persons aspiring for the posts of Fitters/Turners/Mechanics in the Heavy Power Equipment Plant (BHEL), Ramachandrapuram, Hyderabad. Their grievance was that their names were not sponsored by the District Employment Officer, Medak at Sangareddy, thereby depriving them of an opportunity of competing for appointment to the said posts. It was stated that the said interviews were scheduled to be held by the BHEL on 10.01.2005. Accordingly, they sought a declaration that the said action was illegal and to allow them to appear for the interviews scheduled to be held on 10.01.2005. No interim orders were passed in the writ petition. A counter-affidavit was filed on behalf of the BHEL stating that as per its Recruitment Rules, it is bound to consider only the candidature of those persons whose names were sponsored by the employment exchange and therefore the petitioners could not have any legally redressable grievance against it. In the light of the prayer in the writ petition, whereby the petitioners sought a direction to permit them to appear for the interviews which were scheduled to be held in January, 2005, it is clear that the cause of action does not survive. Learned counsel for the respondent organization stated that the recruitment which was scheduled during that time has already been completed. No steps however were taken by the petitioners to implead the persons selected and appointed pursuant to such recruitment. The writ petition has therefore become infructuous owing to the above developments and the cause therein does not survive for adjudication. The writ petition is accordingly dismissed. No costs. -------------------------- SANJAY KUMAR,J 27TH NOVEMBER, 2009 PGS
