THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE L. NARASIMHA REDDY W.P.No.19832 of 2010 ORDER The Government of Andhra Pradesh issued G.O.Rt.No.203, Education department, dated 13.04.2010, prescribing the procedure for implementation of the ‘Saakshar Bharat Scheme’ (for short ‘the Scheme’) launched by the Government of India. The Scheme contemplated appointment of Coordinators at District, Mandal and Village levels. The G.O. also provides for the appointing authority for the Coordinators at the concerned levels. The petitioners claimed to have submitted applications for being appointed as Village Coordinators in different villages. Their grievance is that though they fulfilled the qualifications prescribed in the G.O. and are otherwise eligible, the respondents are not considering their cases. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioners, the learned Government Pleader for Education for respondent Nos.1 and 2 and the learned Standing Counsel for Gram Panchayat for respondent Nos.3 to 18. Apart from prescribing the procedure for appointment of Coordinators at various levels, the G.O. has prescribed the qualifications for the candidates. The question as to whether the petitioners fulfilled the qualifications can be considered only after their applications are processed. There cannot be any justification for the respondents to receive the applications of the petitioners. Hence, the Writ Petition is disposed of, directing that as and when the respondents herein are proposed to appoint Village Coordinators in their respective villages under the Scheme and issued notifications inviting applications, it shall be open to the petitioners to submit their applications and the respondents, in terms, shall be under obligation to consider the same in accordance with the guidelines issued in G.O.Rt.No.203, dated 13.04.2010. There shall be no order as to costs. ______________________ L. NARASIMHA REDDY, J Date:07.09.2010 sj
