THE HON’BLE MR JUSTICE L. NARASIMHA REDDY Writ Petition No.30642 of 2010 ORDER: The petitioner is a Labour Contract Cooperative Society Limited, Warangal. The Government of A.P. issued orders from time to time providing for the manner in which the sanitation contracts in the Municipalities and Municipal Corporations shall be awarded. G.O.Ms.No.581 dated 06.11.1996 is to the effect that a part of the sanitation work must be entrusted to the societies formed by the retired public health workers, their children, or scheduled tribe community persons having experience in sanitation work. G.O.Ms.No.30, dated 18.01.2000, was issued relaxing certain conditions as to inviting tenders, deposit of EMD etc. The Warangal Municipal Corporation issued notification, dated 29.10.2010, inviting applications from the societies in respect of various wards, numbering about 25. No applications were received in respect of Ward No.47. Therefore, another notification was issued on 01.12.2010. The petitioner, the 3rd respondent and another agency submitted their applications. The selection was to be by drawl of lots. In the process, the 3rd respondent was selected. The petitioner challenges the selection of the 3rd respondent. It is stated that the 3rd respondent did not have any experience in the sanitation work and its application ought not to have been entertained at all. Another ground pleaded by the petitioner is that the 3rd respondent-society was not registered under the relevant G.O.No.581, dated 06.11.1996. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned Standing Counsel for the Municipal Corporation. The notification was in respect of only one ward, which was earmarked for the societies formed by the former sanitation employees, their children, members belonging to scheduled castes and scheduled tribes etc. The process of selection is by drawl of lots. Out of the three applications received for Ward No.47, the 3rd respondent was selected. The plea raised by the petitioner is that the 3rd respondent is not registered under G.O.Ms.No.581, dated 06.11.1996 and that he did not have experience, since it was not registered. Both the contentions are unacceptable. Clauses 2(1) and (2) of the G.O. read as under: (1) “The Societies should be registered under Societies Registration Act. (2) The Members should belong to retired Public Health Workers, their children/and other Scheduled Caste/Scheduled Tribe Community people having experience of Sanitation work as Badili Workers.” The G.O. by itself does not provide for registration of any society. What all it directs is that, to avail benefits under the G.O., a society must be the one, that is registered under the Societies Registration Act. No independent registration under the G.O. is contemplated. The experience mentioned in sub-clause (2) is of the members of society and not of the society as such. Therefore, it does not make any difference as to whether the society was registered just immediately before the notification or years earlier thereto. The writ petition is accordingly dismissed. There shall be no order as costs. _____________________ L. NARASIMHA REDDY, J. Dt.02.02.2011. GJ
