THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE GODA RAGHURAM AND THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE S.ANANDA REDDY WRIT PETITION No. 5700 of 2003 Dated: 19-9-2007 Between: Chintam Kamalakar Reddy …Petitioner and The Government of Andhra Pradesh, rep. by its Secretary (Home. Courts), Hyderabad and others …Respondents Order: (Per GR, J) The petitioner is aggrieved that the category ‘Driver’ is not a feeder category for the post of Examiner/Field Assistant under the Andhra Pradesh Judicial Ministerial Service Rules, 2003 issued in G.O.Ms.No.129, Law (L.A & Home-Courts-D) Department, dated 12-11-2003. Admittedly, the statutory rules do not provide for the post of Driver as a feeder category for the post of Field Assistant. Under the 2003 Rules, the post of Field Assistant is to be filled up by direct recruitment or appointment by transfer from the post of Record Assistant in A.P. General Subordinate Services and Attenders in Last Grade Service. The post of Driver figures in the constitution of the A.P. Government Drivers Subordinate Service Rules issued in G.O.Ms.No.168, General Administration Department, dated 1-4-2002. This is a technical post. The qualifications prescribed for the post of Driver on the one hand and for the posts of Field Assistant/Examiners in the A.P.Judicial Ministerial Service on the other, are distinct. Whether the post of a Driver and the qualifications prescribed for the said post is relevant for holding the post of Field Assistant in A.P.Judicial Ministerial Service is a matter of policy choice by the Rule Making Authority and not a matter calling for judicial review under Article 226 of the Constitution of India. The petitioner must seek appropriate remedy by way of a representation to the Rule Making Authority and not by way of writ petition. The writ petition is dismissed. There shall be no order as to costs. The petitioner is however at liberty to submit a representation for consideration by the appropriate Rule Making Authority. _______________________ GODA RAGHURAM, J 19th September, 2007 _________________________ S.
