Mr.S.R.Nargolkar, AGP for State. ... CORAM: D.K.DESHMUKH, & A.R.JOSHI, JJ DATED: 10th February,2010 P.C.: 1. By this petition the Petitioners claim that as they are affected by Eklahare Thermal Power Project, they should have been 2 appointed to the service of the Respondent No.1. 2. The learned Counsel appearing for the Respondent No.1 stated before us that the Petitioners have not produced certificate from the Collector that they are affected by Eklahare Thermal Power project. 3. The learned Counsel appearing for the Petitioners invited our attention to the letter dated 2-6-2009, which showed that they applied to the Collector for the Certificate, but the Collector informed them that they have to approach the authorities under Eklahare Thermal Power Project. The Petitioners, admittedly, have not approached the Eklahare Thermal Power Project Authority. Then the learned appearing for the Petitioners submitted that they already have 3 certificates that they are affected by Eklahare Thermal Power Project. He invited our attention to the document at Exh.D dated 5-1-1999, which shows that the land of one Shri Savlaram Pagare was acquired for Eklahare Thermal Project. The Petitioners state that said Savlaram Pagare is their grand-father. However, there is no statement made in the petition that this certificate was submitted to the Respondent No.1. The Petitioners have also not produced the special format in which the application was to be submitted as per the advertisement at Exh.A. 4. The learned Counsel appearing for the Respondent No.1 states that the selection process is going on and appointments have not yet been made, therefore, in case the Petitioners produce a certificate from the 4 competent authority certifying that they are persons affected by Eklahare Thermal Power Project, then the Respondent No.1 will consider their applications in accordance with law. If for any reason, according to the Respondent No.1, the Petitioners are not entitled to be appointed then that reason shall be communicated by the Respondent No.1 to the Petitioners. Petition disposed of. (D.K.DESHMUKH, J.) (A.R.JOSHI, J.)
