THE HON’BLE SMT. JUSTICE T. MEENA KUMARI and THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE NOOTY RAMAMOHANA RAO WRIT PETITION No. 14016 of 2007 O R D E R: (Per the Hon’ble Smt. Justice T. Meena Kumari) This writ petition is filed against the order dated 20.6.2007 passed by the A.P. Administrative Tribunal in O.A. No. 953 of 2007. The petitioner herein filed O.A. No. 953 of 2007 before the Tribunal seeking a direction to the 2nd respondent to consider the candidature of the petitioner – applicant for the post of Surveyor in pursuance of Notice Roc.No.A/1202/04/440 dated 19.4.2005. The Tribunal dismissed the O.A. as devoid of merit. Aggrieved, the petitioner – applicant filed this writ petition. Heard the learned counsel for the parties and perused the material available on record. The main contention of the learned counsel for the petitioner is that even though the name of the petitioner has been sponsored by the Employment Exchange and he is qualified to be appointed to the post of Surveyor, the respondents have not taken into consideration the said fact and they have not taken any steps for filling up the vacancies. But, mere sponsorship from the Employment Exchange does not confer any right on the petitioner – applicant to seek a direction to fill up the vacancies or to finalise the selections. Further, the respondents have filed counter before the Tribunal stating that the Government have not accorded permission to fill up the posts. Having regard to the facts and circumstances, the Tribunal rightly dismissed the O.A. and we find no illegality or irregularity in the order passed by the Tribunal warranting interference of this Court. The writ petition is accordingly dismissed. However, having regard to the facts and circumstances, we give liberty to the petitioner to apply for the post of Surveyor as and when there is a Notification from the respondents, in accordance with the Rules.
