HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE L. NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.23021 OF 2011 ORDER: The 1st respondent issued notification on 09-03-2010, inviting applications for various posts, including three posts of Cardio-Vascular Technologist Grade-II(invasive) or Cathlab Technician. All the three posts were reserved in faovur of Woman candidates belonging to SC, BC and OC categories. A clause was incorporated in the notification to the effect that in case, eligible woman candidates are not available, men candidates would be considered. 2. The petitioner states that he is working on temporary basis in the 1st respondent as Cathlab Technician and submitted his application. When his case was not considered, he approached this Court by filing WP No.10923 of 2011. The Writ Petition was disposed of directing the respondents 1 and 2 to take appropriate decision in accordance with law. The 1st respondent, in turn, issued proceedings, dated 11-06-2011, informing the petitioner that his case cannot be considered unless, the posts are carried forward thrice and limited recruitment is conducted. The petitioner feels aggrieved by the same. 3. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned counsel for the respondents. 4. The advertisement is clear to the effect that the three posts of Cathlab Technician are reserved in favour of woman candidates belonging to SC, BC and OC categories. It may be true that there is a clause in the advertisement to the effect that in case, the qualified woman candidates are not available, the cases of men would be considered. However, that clause was incorporated without being aware of Rule 22 and 22 A of the Andhra Pradesh State and Subordinate Service Rules, which apply to the posts in the 1st respondent. Those Rules are to the effect that the limited recruitment in respect of those posts must be conducted thrice, before the vacancies are filled by the candidates belonging to any other category. 5. In the instant case, if the woman candidates of the categories referred to above, are not available, the 1st respondent would be under obligation to conduct limited recruitment for those posts and it is only when woman candidates do not turn up for the three limited recruitments, the occasion to consider the case of men candidates against such vacancies, would arise. Therefore, no exception can be taken to the impugned order. However, in case the petitioner is working as Cathlab Technician at present, he deserves to be continued till the process in accordance with law is concluded. 5. Hence, the Writ Petition is disposed of directing that the 1st respondent shall continue the petitioner as Cathlab Technician, in case, he is already working, till the process of filling the posts in accordance with law is completed. There shall be no order as to costs. ___________________ L.NARASIMHA REDDY, J October 10, 2011. KTL
