THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.16866 of 2011 ORDER: The Government of Andhra Pradesh initiated steps for appointing Assistant Public Prosecutors. A notification in this regard was issued on 12.11.2010. The petitioner submitted his application. Examination was conducted on 20.02.2011. He was not issued any interview call. He challenges the action of the respondents in not calling him for interview. His allegation is that the respondents did not maintain the ratio of 1:2 in the matter of issuing interview calls. The respondents filed a counter-affidavit. It is stated that the candidates at the ratio of 1:2 were called for the interview and that the petitioner was not issued the call letter on account of the fact that he secured less marks. It is stated that the last candidate, who was called for the interview under B.C-B category, secured 194 marks, whereas the petitioner secured only 189 marks. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader for Home. The petitioner places heavy reliance upon the fact that he was issued a memo as recently as on 10.05.2011 requiring him to submit caste certificate in the prescribed format. That however was in the context of ensuring that the application is in order. The petitioner is under the impression that the respondents did not issue call letters to the candidates at the ratio of 1:2. That however is not correct. The respondents have categorically stated that the candidates, double the number of posts, were called for interview in the respective categories. The last candidate from B.C-B category, who was issued call letter, has secured 192 marks, whereas the petitioner only 189 marks. The petitioner is not able to demonstrate that the stand taken by the respondents is not correct. Hence, the writ petition is dismissed. There shall be no order as to costs. _____________________ L.NARASIMHA REDDY,J Dt:11.10.2011. kdl
