THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.22779 of 2011 ORDER: In the year 2010, the Panchayat Secretary, Gokanakonda Gram Panchayat, respondent No.7 herein, initiated steps for appointment of Village Coordinators under Saakshar Bharat Scheme sponsored by the Central Government. The petitioner and certain others submitted applications. The petitioner states that he worked as Prerak under an earlier scheme and though the Government directed in G.O.Rt.No.203, dated 13.04.2010, that the persons who worked as Preraks shall be given preference in the matter of appointment of Village Coordinators, respondent Nos. 6 and 7 are not following the same. At the stage of admission, the learned Standing Counsel for respondent Nos.6 and 7 submits that the petitioner did not hold the requisite qualification as on the date of the notification and that there are no vacancies at present. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner. It appears that one of the Village Coordinators was appointed as Mandal Coordinator and a vacancy exists. In case respondent Nos.6 and 7 initiated steps to fill the vacancy, the case of the petitioner deserves to be considered in accordance with law. Hence, the writ petition is disposed of directing that in case there exists a vacancy of Village Coordinator for Gokanakonda Village under Saakshar Bharat Scheme, the case of the petitioner shall be considered along with others, duly following the procedure prescribed under G.O.Rt.No.203, dated 13.04.2010. There shall be no order as to costs. _____________________ L.NARASIMHA REDDY,J Dt:11.08.2011 Note: Issue cc in three days. (B/o) kdl
