IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE, ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD (Special Original Jurisdiction) WEDNESDAY THE NINETEENTH DAY OF MAY TWO THOUSAND AND TEN PRESENT THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE G. CHANDRAIAH WRIT PETITION No : 11654 of 2010 Between: Andhra Manjula and others ..... PETITIONERS AND The State of Andhra Pradesh rep. By its Principal Secretary, School Education, Hyderabad and others. .....RESPONDENTS THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE G.CHANDRAIAH W.P.NO.11654 OF 2010 ORDER: The writ petition is filed seeking writ of Mandamus to declare the action of the respondents in not considering the representations of the petitioners dated 02.03.2010, 19.04.2010 and 12.05.2010 respectively for considering their case for appointment as Mandal Coordinators/Panchayat Coordinators for implementation of the centrally sponsored scheme called as “Saakshar Bharat” as illegal and arbitrary. The grievance of the petitioners is that they submitted representations dated 02.03.2010, 19.04.2010 and 12.05.2010 respectively to the respondents to consider their case for appointment as Mandal Coordinators/Panchayat Coordinators by relaxing the age limit for implementation of the centrally sponsored scheme called as “Saakshar Bharat”. The petitioners submit that they have rich experience of about 12 years in the same field and they are fully eligible to be appointed as Mandal Coordinators/Panchayat Coordinators under “Saakshar Bharat Scheme”. The learned counsel for the petitioners also relied upon G.O.Rt.No.203, Education (P.E.PROG.1) Department, dated 13.04.2010 and submits that though their representations are in consonance with the said scheme, they are not being considered. Having regard to the facts and circumstances, I deem it appropriate to direct the respondents to consider the petitioners’ representations referred to above in the light of G.O.Rt.No.203 dated 13.04.2010 by relaxing the age limit and pass appropriate orders thereon expeditiously, in any event within a period of eight (8) weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this Order. With the above direction, the writ petition is disposed of at the stage of admission. No order as to costs. _________________ G. CHANDRAIAH,J 19TH MAY 2010 Note: Issue CC in four (4) Days.
