Counsel for the Petitioner: SMT.A.PANKAJA Counsel for the Respondents: MR.S.RAVINDRANATH The Court at the admission stage made the following: ORDER: Petitioner claims that he worked as a Contract Labour under the respondents and in pursuance of a notification, dated 11.03.2001, inviting applications from eligible candidates for the recruitment of LDC and Sub-Engineers, he made an application to the post of LDC along with all the necessary certificates. On 30.04.2001, the respondent-Board issued a paper notification with the list of selected candidates for the interview directing them to appear before the second respondent with original certificates on 12.05.2001. Since the name of the petitioner is also mentioned in the list of candidates who are eligible for interview at Serial No.51, he appeared for the interview on 12.05.2001. The grievance of the petitioner is that the respondent-Board declared the results of a few candidates and no intimation has been given to others. The petitioner contended that as per the Memo dated 22.06.2001, the list of selected candidates may be published in newspapers and appointment orders have to be issued simultaneously. Speaking orders have to be issued to the unselected candidates duly intimating the reasons for rejecting their appointment. The petitioner has not received any intimation, therefore he approached this Court through this writ petition seeking a declaration that the action of the respondents in not declaring his result for the last three years, is illegal, improper and arbitrary. In the light of the circumstances explained by the petitioner and on account of lapse of time, the petitioner is directed to make a representation to the second respondent for announcement of his result as per Para-6 of the Memo dated 22.06.2001 and the second respondent shall after receipt of the representation of the petitioner intimate the result as per the Memo dated 22.06.2001 within a period of four weeks from the date of receipt of the said representation. Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of. No costs. _______________ 28.09.2004 Note: Furnish CC in three days (b/o) VGB To 1 The Chairman/Managing Director Central Power Distribution Company of A.P.
