THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE B. CHANDRA KUMAR Writ Petition No. 18394 of 2001 Order: Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned counsel for the respondents 1 to 3. There is no representation on behalf of the respondents 4 to 6. The petitioner’s case is that she was appointed as a Lecturer in English in Hindu College, Guntur in the month of September 1998 and since then she has been continuing as such. When the said College issued a notification dated 14.04.2001 to fill up three un-aided English Lecturer posts, she applied for the same and appeared for the interview conducted on 05.05.2001 along with two other candidates, but so far no orders were issued. Hence, she filed the present writ petition seeking to declare the action of the respondents in not issuing the appointment order as an unaided lecturer for which she has been selected in the category of OC (woman) in Hindu College, Guntur. The only contention of the learned counsel for the respondents 1 to 3 is that the petitioner is not entitled for any relief in terms of G.O. Ms. No.328, dated 15.10.1997 since the said G.O contemplates that the candidates who had put in service of three academic years as on 30th July 1991 or five academic years as on 25.11.1993 are alone eligible for consideration in terms of the said GO and since the petitioner was appointed contrary to the directions of the authorities after issuing of said G.O she is not entitled for any relief. However, both the learned counsel agreed that as per the interim directions of this Court the petitioner has been continuing in an unaided post. If that be so, the writ petition can be disposed of with the following direction. The 4th respondent is directed to continue the petitioner in the same post till a regular vacancy arises and as and when a regular vacancy arises the respondents-authorities may consider her case as per the rules along with other candidates, who apply for the said post, irrespective of the issue of age bar of the petitioner. Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of. No costs. ____________________ B. CHANDRA KUMAR, J. Date: 03.12.2010 Nsr
