HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE R. SUBHASH REDDY Writ Petition No.8857 of 2010 Date: April 20, 2010 Between: G. Venkata Swamy, S/o. Muttaiah, Aged 33 years, Occ: unemployee, R/o.H.No.3-108, Pedda Gundavelly, Dubbaka Mandal, Medak District … Petitioner And Andhra Pradesh State Road Transport Corporation, rep. by its Executive Director (HCZ) JBS/Picket, Secunderabad, and another … Respondents Order: The petitioner, who is unemployed, responded to the notification dated 02-03-2009 issued by the first respondent for filling up posts of Conductor Grade-II in Hyderabad City Region on contract basis. The petitioner was sent letter dated 04-02-2010 asking him to appear for physical verification and to produce original certificates in the office of the first respondent on 03-03-2010. The grievance of the petitioner in this writ petition is that he received the letter dated 04-02-2010 sent by the first respondent only on 12-03-2010; as such, he missed the interview which was scheduled on 03-03-2010. He, therefore, seeks directions to the respondents to consider his candidature for the post of Conductor Grade-II. When the matter is taken up, on instructions, it is submitted by the learned standing counsel appearing on behalf of the respondents that pursuant to notification dated 02-03-2009, interviews are over and final select list is also published on 17-04-2010. It is to be noted that respondents have addressed letter dated 04-02-2010, requiring the petitioner to appear for interview on 03-03-2010. However, it is the case of the petitioner that, unfortunately, the said letter is received by him only 12-03- 2010, i.e. after the scheduled date of interview. Merely because the petitioner did not receive the letter addressed by the respondents within time, it cannot be said that there is any fault on the part of the respondents, as much as they have despatched the letter dated 04-02-2010 on 05-02-2010 itself, i.e. well in advance to the date of interview. Further, though the petitioner received the letter dated 04-02-2010 addressed by the respondents on 12- 03-2010, he did not approach this court immediately. It is stated that whole process of selections is over and list of selected candidates is also published on 17-04-2010. In the circumstances, no directions, as sought, can be issued at this stage. The writ petition is accordingly dismissed. No order as to costs. ____________________ (R. SUBHASH REDDY, J) April 20, 2010 MRR
