THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE K.C.BHANU Writ Petition No.19919 OF 2011 ORDER: 1 According to the petitioner, in pursuance of the notifications dated 08.06.2006 and 20.10.2006 issued by the respondents inviting applications for the post of Junior Lineman on contract basis, he submitted an application and thereafter he has attended pole climbing test held on 11.04.2007 and was qualified in the said test. But the petitioner was not given appointment even though he was selected in the pole climbing test because the respondents have selected the candidates only basing on the date of birth without taking into consideration the number of working days as contract labour and they have not even given preference / weightage to their service in the respondent organization. It is further submitted that some similarly situated candidates like the petitioner approached this court and filed Writ Petitions and a learned single Judge of this court allowed those Writ Petitions by order dated 02.05.2008 holding that the selections are not done in accordance with the notification and the conditions were changed from time to time and directed the respondents to issue fresh notification. As against the said order, the authorities filed writ appeals in W.A.No.1434 of 2008 and batch and in those appeals the authorities gave an undertaking to appoint the respondents therein. In view of the undertaking given by the authorities in the writ appeal the writ appeals were disposed of by a common order dated 10.11.2009 directing the authorities to appoint the selected contract labour, who were not appointed, as Contract Junior Line Man in the respondent organization irrespective of filing the Writ Petitions and grant the benefits including the regularization as was done in favour of the other contract labour who are appointed as Contract Junior Line Man in pursuance of the notification issued in the year 2006. It is further submitted that the petitioner is also similarly placed contract labour working as on today in the respondent organization for the last seven years and fully qualified. Now the present grievance of the petitioner is that though this Court directed the respondent authorities to consider all the contract labour for appointment as Contract Junior Linemen, irrespective of their filing Writ Petition or not, the respondent authorities are considering only the persons who approached this court by way of Writ Petitions and are not considering the cases of the candidates who have not filed Writ Petitions. 2. The learned counsel for the petitioner has submitted that though this Court, by an order dated 10.11.2009, disposed of W.A.No.1434 of 2008 and batch directing the authorities to appoint the selected contract labour, who were not appointed, as Contract Junior Line Man in the respondent organization irrespective of filing the Writ Petitions, the respondent authorities have not appointed the petitioner in the post of Contract Junior Line Man. 3. On the contrary, the learned standing counsel for A.P. Transco has contended that since the entire selection process was over, question of appointing anybody as Junior Lineman on contract basis does not arise. 4. Having considered the submissions made by the learned counsel for the petitioner and in view of the specific direction given by the division bench of this court in W.A.No.1434 of 2008 dated 10.11.2009, and inasmuch as the petitioner claims to have qualified in all the tests conducted by the respondent authorities, the respondents are hereby directed to consider the case of the petitioner if he is otherwise eligible and qualified by following the procedure in accordance with the rules and regulations governing the service conditions of the Junior Line Man,, within a period of six (6) weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. 5. Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of. There shall be no order as to costs. _____________ K.C. BHANU, J 15.07.2011 Kvsn
