The learned counsel for the petitioner has submitted that a Division Bench of this Court, by common judgment dated 10.11.2009 in W.A.Nos. 1434 of 2008 and batch, while disposing of the appeals, categorically discussed the aspects of eligibility criteria, selection process and appointment to the posts of Junior Linemen, and made the following observation: “Therefore, taking the aforesaid undertakings of the appellant- Distribution Companies on record, we direct the appellant-companies to appoint all the respondents-writ petitioners, who submitted their applications pursuant to the notifications dated 08.06.2006 and the other dates, issued by the various appellant- companies, and who have passed the pole climbing test and fulfilled the other eligibility criterion for appointment as Junior Linemen, without reference to and without insisting upon the fulfillment of condition No. 6(iv)(c) of the revised notification dated 20.10.2006 within two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. We also make it clear that this direction would be applicable to all those candidates, who have not approached this Court but who had applied in pursuance of the aforementioned notifications, subject to passing of the pole climbing test and fulfillment of eligibility criteria. We however make it clear that the persons who have not applied in pursuance of the notifications dated 08.06.2006 and the other dates and who have not subjected themselves to the selection process have no right whatsoever to claim that they are entitled to such appointment. We also make it clear that all the selected and appointed respondents-writ petitioners and others similarly situated would be entitled for all benefits on par with the persons who have been appointed as Junior Linemen as per Condition No. 6(iv)( c) of the revised notification, including regularization of their services as per rules and policy. The writ appeals are accordingly disposed of. No costs.” He has further submitted that the case of the petitioner herein is similar to that of the respondents in the batch of Writ Appeals, as such, his case may also be considered in the light of the above cited common judgment. In view of the submission made by the learned counsel for the petitioner and following the common judgment dated 10.11.2009, this writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the respondents to consider the case of the petitioner for appointment to the post of Junior Linemen if he is found eligible and in the same terms as indicated in the Writ Appeal No.1434 of 2008 and batch.
