Counsel for the Petitioners: MR.D.SESHADRI NAIDU Counsel for the Respondents: MR.A.RAMALINGESWAR RAO The Court made the following : ORDER: The petitioners are contending that they applied for the contract lecturers/Medical Officers posts in pursuance of a notification dated 24.09.2004 for appointment in the third respondent institute. The petitioners were selected at serial Nos.9, 7, 12 and 1 respectively and they joined on 08.10.2004, but the second respondent issued a memo on 11.10.2004 mentioning that the selection made for contract lecturers/Medical Officers on 06.10.2004 to the third respondent college stands cancelled due to administrative reasons as per the oral instructions of the Executive Officer of the first respondent-Devastanam. Though the petitioners contended that they joined on 08.10.2004, they did not place any material as to when they were communicated and when they were directed to report to duty and to whom they gave the joining report. In the absence of such material, the mere selection of the petitioners for the lecturers posts does not vest with them any right to agitate in a Court of law. The petitioners therefore cannot manage this petition. Accordingly, the writ petition is dismissed. 03.11.2004.
