THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE N.V. RAMANA Writ Petition No.9164 of 2007 Dated: 26.04.2007 Between: N. Padmaja Vani and others. .... PETITIONERS AND The Assistant General Manager, Syndicate Bank, Regional Office, Vijayawada, Krishna District and another. .....RESPONDENTS THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE N.V. RAMANA Writ Petition No.9164 of 2007 ORDER: The petitioners state that they have been registered with the District Employment Exchange, Vijayawada, Krishna District, 2nd respondent herein. The 1st respondent is said to have issued a notification inviting applications for selection of candidates for the posts of temporary attenders. It is alleged that the interviews are scheduled to take place on 28.04.2007 or any other subsequent notified date. The grievance of the petitioners is that since their case is not being sponsored by the 2nd respondent, the 1st respondent has not considered their candidature for the said post. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioners and the learned Government Pleader for Employment. Though sponsoring of candidates through Employment Exchange is treated as one of the known sources of candidates for consideration for employment in Government service and public sector undertakings, there does not exist any prohibition for them in considering the cases of eligible candidates, even if not sponsored by the Employment Exchange. There are several judgments of the Supreme Court and this Court on this aspect. Having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case, the Writ Petition is disposed of, directing the 1st respondent to consider the candidature of the petitioner, without insisting on sponsoring by the Employment Exchange. There shall be no order as to costs. ________________ N.V. RAMANA, J. Date: 26.04.2007. Ksr
