THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.RAMULU W.P.No.242 of 2007 ORAL ORDER: This writ petition is filed seeking a Mandamus directing the respondents 3 and 4 to declare the result of the selection of Anganwadi worker conducted in pursuance of the interviews held on 16.12.2006 vide interview notice No.260/2006 dated 1.12.2006 and consequently direct the respondents to appoint the petitioner as Anganwadi worker of Kalavakonda village, Chillakur mandal, Nellore district. This Court, while ordering notice before admission on 3.1.2007, directed the respondents to maintain status quo as on 3.1.2007 for a period of two weeks. The said order was extended until further orders on 29.1.2007. The fifth respondent filed counter and vacate stay petition stating that the interviews were conducted on 16.12.2006 and the petitioner also participated in the same and since the selection process was not completed, this writ petition is premature, therefore, the question of maintaining status quo as to the appointment to the post of Anganwadi worker of Kalavakonda village, Chillakur mandal, Nellore district does not arise. The learned counsel for petitioner produced some material before the Court and asserted that the petitioner obtained more number of marks than the fifth respondent i.e. petitioner got 15 marks and the fifth respondent got (9) marks. In view of the above, without expressing any opinion on merits, the respondents are directed to declare the results of the interviews conducted on 16.12.2006 for the post of Anganwadi worker of Kalavakonda village, Chillakur mandal, Nellore district within a period of two weeks from the date of receipt of this order and then appoint the meritorious candidate, as per law. The writ petition is accordingly disposed of. No order as to costs. ______________ C.V.RAMULU, J Date: 30.10.2007 DA THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.RAMULU W.P.No.242 of 2007 30.10.2007 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE OF ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.
