THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE R. SUBHASH REDDY WRIT PETITION No. 7632 of 2010 O R D E R: The petitioner is a casual labour working in the College Farm run by Acharya Ranga Agricultural University and he claims that he is the senior-most person in the category of casual labour. In this Writ Petition, the grievance of the petitioner is that though as per the decision taken by the respondents, 50% of the vacancies in the category of Record Assistants are to be filled up by considering the case of the casual labour, his case is not being considered for absorption into service. A counter-affidavit is filed by the Registrar of the 2nd respondent University. It is stated therein that the petitioner was appointed as a casual labour on 16.05.1982 and has been continuing as such and the University has already implemented time scale to him as per University proceedings No. 1202/Lab/2008, dated 08.10.2008. It is stated that the record of seniority maintained by the respondent University shows the petitioner at Sl.No. 6 and the candidates at Sl.Nos. 1 to 5 have already been absorbed in Class IV vacant posts and Record Assistant posts based on their qualifications. It is further stated that so far as the petitioner is concerned, he is the next candidate whose case will be considered in the next arising vacancy by following the rule of reservations without any deviation. In view of the submissions made in the counter-affidavit, it is clear that the respondents are taking steps to consider the case of the petitioner for absorption into Class IV vacant posts and Record Assistant Posts based on his qualifications and seniority. Since the petitioner stands at Sl.No.6 in the seniority list, it cannot be said that his case was not considered for absorption. As the respondents themselves stated in the counter-affidavit that the case of the petitioner will be considered in the next vacancy, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the Writ Petition directing the respondents to consider andappoint the petitoner in the next arising suitable vacancy as per his qualifications and eligibility. Subject to the above directions, theWRit Petitionis allowed. No cost. ---------------------------- (R. SUBHASH REDDY, J) 9th June 2010 ksld
