THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE NOOTY RAMAMOHANA RAO WRIT PETITIONS No. 1611 and 1612 OF 2011 CONNON ORDER: These Writ Petitions have been instituted seeking a writ of mandamus for declaring the action of the 2nd respondent in not calling the writ petitioners for the interview and not considering their candidature as in-service candidates as illegal and arbitrary. Heard Sri M.A. Shakeel, learned counsel for the writ petitioners and Sri S.M. Subhan, learned Standing Counsel for Telugu Academy and with their consent, the Writ Petitions are disposed of at the admission stage. In somewhat similar circumstances, while entertaining Writ Petition No. 18578 of 2010, a detailed order has been passed by me, directing the respondent Telugu Academy to take necessary steps to advertise the vacancies that are sought to be filled in, on All India Radio, Doordarshan and also by publishing the same on the notice board of the office/establishment concerned and through the local media. The candidates, who have responded to such a notification should be considered, instead of confining it only to those candidates, who have been sponsored by the employment exchange as well as those who have approached this Court. Hence, following the said ruling, directions are issued in this case also, reiterating the earlier directions given in Writ Petition No. 18578 of 2010. With this, both the Writ Petitions are disposed of. No costs. ---------------------------------- (NOOTY RAMAMOHANA RAO, J) 2nd February 2011 ksld
