THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE N.V. RAMANA W.P. No. 6482 of 2003 Oral order: The petitioner assailing the action of the respondents in not selecting and appointing him as Sub-Engineer filed the present writ petition. When the writ petition is taken up for hearing, neither the petitioner nor his counsel are present nor is there any representation on their behalf. However, the learned Standing Counsel for the respondents submitted that grievance of the petitioner in the writ petition is that the respondents have not passed any speaking orders with regard to the non-selection of the petitioner, and that this Court disposed of several writ petitions with similar grievance with a direction to the respondents to pass speaking orders with respect to non-selection. In the circumstances, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the writ petition with the following directions: The respondents are directed to pass appropriate speaking orders with respect to non-selection and appointment of the petitioner, if not already passed, within a period of six weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of. No costs. ________________ N.V. RAMANA, J. Dated: 28th December, 2006. KSR
