HON'BLE MR JUSTICE GHULAM MOHAMMED AND HON'BLE MR JUSTICE N. RAVI SHANKAR WRIT PETITION NO. 6962 OF 2010 Between: S. Mallikarjuna S/o Subbaiah ………….Petitioner AND The Director of Works Accounts, Government of Andhra Pradesh Manoranjan Complex, M.J Road, Hyderabad and 29 others ………….Respondents ORDER : (Per Hon'ble Sri Justice Ghulam Mohammed) This Writ Petition has been filed in the nature of Writ of Certiorari calling for the records relating to and connected with the orders dated 9.2.2010 of the Andhra Pradesh Administrative Tribunal, Hyderabad, passed in O.A.No. 2916 of 2009 and quash the same as illegal. The learned counsel appearing for the petitioner fairly submits that the subject matter of the Writ Petition is squarely covered by the Common Judgment of this Court dated 13.4.2010 passed in W.P.Nos. 20662 & 3253 of 2007 wherein and whereby this Court at paragraph 38 observed as under: “Further it is stated by the learned counsel that the Government issued instructions vide Circular Memo No. 16/Ser.A/93-39 of GA (Ser.A) Department, dated 21.4.1999 that promotees cannot take the place of a direct recruitee in the slot earmarked for direct recruitment. It is also evident from Rule 36 (i) of A.P State and Sub-ordinate Service Rules, 1996, in respect of the candidates selected by the APPSC by direct recruitment, the seniority shall be with reference to the ranking assigned irrespective of date of commencement of probation in that category. As the process of direct recruitment and the selections made thereto by the APPSC is statutory in nature, it is binding and not open for modification. 39. In view of the foregoing discussion, we are of the view that the order of the Tribunal passed in O.A.No. 5485 of 2005 does not warrant any interference by this Court, however, for the reasons stated above, the order of the Tribunal passed in O.A.No. 5469 of 2004 is set aside. In the result, W.P.No. 3253 of 2007 is allowed and WP No. 20662 of 2007 is dismissed. No order as to costs.” Following the above judgment of this Court, dated 13.4.2010 passed in Writ Petition Nos. 20662 and 3253 of 2007, this Writ Petition is dismissed. There shall be no order as to costs. ________________________ GHULAM MOHAMMED,J _______________________ N. RAVI SHANKAR ,J DATE: 15.12.2010 KA ...
