THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY Writ Petition No.16785 of 2010 ORDER: The petitioner submitted an application for appointment to the post of Contract Junior Lineman in response to a notification, dated 21.10.2006 issued by the Northern Power Distribution Company Limited. 237 vacancies were notified. When the petitioner was not selected, he approached this Court by filing W.P.No.10066 of 2007. That was disposed of directing the respondents to take necessary steps. The petitioner contends that even after the directions issued by this Court, only 190 posts were filled by appointing the existing contractual labour and 47 posts were not filled up. He seeks appropriate directions in this regard. On behalf of the respondents, a counter affidavit is filed. It is stated that the remaining 47 posts were filled by selecting eligible candidates. It is also stated that the last selected candidate in the open category secured 534 marks, whereas the petitioner secured 482 marks. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned counsel for the respondents. The petitioner is under the impression that 47 vacancies were not filled up and that his case was not considered. From a perusal of the counter affidavit, it becomes clear that all the vacancies were filled up and the petitioner was not selected, on account of the fact that there existed many meritorious candidates. The writ petition is accordingly dismissed. There shall be no order as to costs. __________ 14.09.2010 JSU THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY Writ Petition No.16785 of 2010 Date: 14.09.2010 JSU
