Counsel for the Petitioner: MR.B.P.RAJU Counsel for the Respondents: GP FOR EMPLOYMENT & TRAINING The Court made the following: ORDER: Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned standing counsel for the respondents who took notice for the respondents and the matter was heard finally with the consent of the learned counsel and is being disposed of at the admission stage. The grievance of the petitioner is that the respondents refused to consider the application of the petitioner for the post of part time sub-staff only on the ground that his name was not sponsored by the concerned employment exchange. If this is the only reason for not considering the application of the petitioner, the action of the respondents cannot be upheld in view of the principle laid down by the Supreme Court reported in Excise Superintendent, Malakapatnam, Krishna District Vs K.B.N. Visweswara Rao. In that view of the matter, the writ petition is disposed of directing the respondents to consider the application of the petitioner for the post of part-time sub-staff in terms of the regulations without disqualifying him only on the ground that his name was not sponsored by the concerned employment exchange, if he is otherwise eligible. No costs. ________________ (V. ESWARAIAH, J) Date: 24.05.2005. Ksn ..... REGISTRAR // TRUE COPY // SECTION OFFICER To 1.
