DAVE, THE CHIEF JUSTICE And HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE R.SUBHASH REDDY WRIT APPEAL NO : 659 of 2008 JUDGMENT : (Per Hon’ble Sri Justice R.Subhash Reddy) This writ appeal is filed aggrieved by the order of the learned single Judge, dated 29th February 2008, passed in writ petition No.7602 of 1998. 2. The appellant herein was one of the writ petitioners in W.P.No.7602 of 1998. He was working as Kalasi in APSRTC. Respondents have issued notification on 20th May 1997 inviting applications for appointment to the post of Junior Assistant. The appellant was one of the applicants who responded to the said notification. When his case was not considered for appointment, he approached this Court by seeking a writ of Mandamus to declare the action of respondents in not considering his case for appointment to the existing vacancy of Junior Assistant, as illegal and arbitrary. 3. The learned single Judge granted directions in favour of some of the writ petitioners, but no direction is granted so far as the present appellant is concerned. 4. In this writ appeal, it is argued by learned counsel Sri G.Vidya Sagar, appearing for the appellant, that the claim of the appellant for appointment to the post of Junior Assistant is rejected based on a Circular dated 16.06.1997, issued in Circular No.PD-37/1997. It is the case of the learned counsel that asmuch as notification was issued by notifying the procedure on 20th May 1997, it is not open for the respondents to change the procedural aspects for award of marks while filling up the posts, subsequently. 5. In the counter affidavit filed on behalf of the respondents, it is categorically stated that Circular No.PD-37/1997 was issued on 16.05.1997 i.e. prior to the date of notification i.e. 20th May 1997. In that view of the matter, it cannot be said that there was a subsequent change in the procedure for award of marks, after issuing the notification. 6. For these reasons, we do not find any error in the order passed by the learned single Judge. Writ appeal is devoid of merit and it is accordingly dismissed. No order as to costs. _________________ ANIL R. DAVE, CJ 7th July 2008 ______________________ R. SUBHASH REDDY, J ajr To 1 The Executive Director, A.P.
