THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No. 16152 OF 2007 Dt: 18th March 2008 Between: Ketta Narasinga Rao …Petitioner and The Govt. of A.P., Indian Medical & Health, Homeopathy Department, Secretariat, Hyderabad & others …Respondents THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No. 16152 OF 2007 O R D E R: In response to a notification issued by the respondents, for appointment to the post of Compounder, the petitioner applied. Though he was selected, he was not appointed. Ever since then, the petitioner is pursuing one remedy, or the other. Suffice it to mention that the petitioner filed O.A.No.9596 of 2001, in the A.P. Administrative Tribunal. It was disposed of on 26.12.2001, with a direction to the respondents to consider the case of the petitioner. The Deputy Director of Indian Medicines and Homeopathy Department, Ongole, addressed a letter dated 29.1.2004, stating that the petitioner could not be appointed, on account of the ban imposed by the Government on appointments. The petitioner feels aggrieved by the action of the respondents, in not providing the appointment. Heard Smt. B. Vaijayanthi, learned counsel for the petitioner, and learned Government Pleader for Medical and Health. This court would certainly have taken note of the various developments and the inaction on the part of the respondents, in the matter of appointing the petitioner as compounder, on the basis of the selection, but for the fact that its jurisdiction in such matters is taken away by Section 15 of the APAT Act. The petitioner can certainly approach the Tribunal and apprise it of, the lapses on the part of the respondents. The writ petition is, accordingly, dismissed, leaving it open to the petitioner, to pursue the remedies, in accordance with law. There shall be no order as to costs. __________________ 18th March 2008 Note: Issue C.C. in three days. (B/o) PAN
