The first respondent is said to have issued a notification inviting applications for selection of candidates for the post of ‘Junior Technician(Lab)’. It is alleged that the interviews are scheduled to take place in the first week of February, 2006, or any other subsequent notified date. The grievance of the petitioner is that since her case is not being sponsored by the 2nd respondent, the first respondent has not considered her candidature for the post. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned counsel for the respondents. Though sponsoring of candidates through Employment Exchange is treated as one of the known sources of candidates for consideration for employment in Government service and public sector undertaking, there does not exist any prohibition for them in considering the cases of eligible candidates, even if not sponsored by the Employment Exchange. There are several judgments of the Supreme Court and this Court on this aspect. Having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case, the writ petition is disposed of, directing the first respondent to consider the candidature of the petitioner, without insisting on sponsoring by the Employment Exchange. There shall be no order as to costs. _________________________ (L.NARASIMHA REDDY, J) 30th JANUARY, 2006. kvni
