THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE N.V. RAMANA Writ Petition No. 20101 of 2006 Dated: 26.09.2006 Between: S. Maiasiah (Maison), S/o late S. Muniswamy, aged about 46 years, R/o Quarter No.21-700, Chittoor Co-operative Sugars Limited, Chittoor, Chittoor District. .... PETITIONER AND The Govt. of A.P., rep. by its Director of Sugars and Cane Commissioner, Fathemaidhan Road, Hyderabad, and another. .....RESPONDENTS THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE N.V. RAMANA Writ Petition No. 20101 of 2006 Order: Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader for Co-operation. The main grievance of the petitioner in this writ petition is that in order to continue their interested candidates in the post of Security Officer and to deny opportunity to him, the respondents are not constituting the selection committee for giving promotion to him to the post of Security Officer. He, thus, seeks to direct the respondents to consider his case for promotion to the post of Security Officer duly conducting selections forthwith. Merely because there is a post of Security Officer vacant, it does not mean that the petitioner is entitled to seek directions to the respondents to constitute Selection Committee for considering his case for promotion or to promote him to the vacant post. It is for the respondents either to promote him or not or keep the post vacant, more so when filling up of the vacancy depends upon the need and necessity of the organization and availability of financial resources. In that view of the matter, this Court cannot give any such direction as prayed for by the petitioner. The writ petition is devoid of merit and the same is accordingly dismissed. No costs. ___________________ N.V. RAMANA, J. Date: 26.09.2006 Nsr/Isl
