THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.RAMULU WRIT PETITION No.12314 of 1997 DATED: 02.04.2007 Between: Masrooq Hussain. .. Petitioner And The Secretary, A.P.S.E.Board, Vidyuth Soudha, Hyderabad and another. .. Respondents. THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.RAMULU WRIT PETITION No.12314 of 1997 ORDER: This Writ Petition is filed seeking a mandamus declaring the action of the respondents in not appointing the petitioner to the post of L.D. Clerk on compassionate grounds in the Andhra Pradesh State Electricity Board as arbitrary and illegal. (2) It appears, that the father of the petitioner late M.M.Hussain while serving in the Andhra Pradesh State Electricity Board (for short ‘A.P.S.E.B.’) was dismissed from service due to unauthorized absence as a measure of disciplinary action. However, on filing the Writ Petition, being W.P.No.1000 of 1989, before this Court, the punishment of dismissal was modified to that of compulsory retirement, and accordingly, the father of the petitioner was made to retire compulsorily by the order, dated 10.10.1990 passed in W.P.No.1000 of 1989. It seems, the father of the petitioner died on 12.07.1989 after being retired compulsorily from the service of A.P.S.E.B. Now, the grievance of the petitioner is that since his father was made to retire compulsorily from the service of A.P.S.E.B. and died thereafter, he is entitled for the appointment on compassionate grounds in the said A.P.S.E.B. (3) Learned counsel for the respondents strenuously contended that there is no such scheme of appointing the children of the persons who have compulsorily retired from the service of A.P.S.E.B. on compassionate grounds. (4) Under the above circumstances, the Writ Petition is liable to be dismissed. The Writ Petition is accordingly dismissed. No order as to costs. _______________ (C.V.RAMULU,J) 02.04.2007 vv
