THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.1548 of 2006 Dated : 28.01.2006 Between: M.Chenchulakshmi, W/o P.Sankaraiah … PETITIONER And : The Superintendent, S.V.R.R. Govt. General Hospital, Tirupati, Chittoor District and another. … RESPONDENTS ORDER: The petitioner states that she has been registered with the District Employment Exchange, Chittoor, 2nd respondent herein. The first respondent is said to have issued a notification inviting applications for selection of candidates for the posts of ‘Attender(W)’, reserved for S.T.Women. It is alleged that the interviews are scheduled to take place on 01.02.2006 or any other subsequent notified date. The grievance of the petitioner is that since her case is not being sponsored by the 2nd respondent, the 1st respondent has not considered her candidature for the said post. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner 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. __________ 28.01.2006 Note: Furnish CC by 30.01.2006. B/o sh
