THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE K.C.BHANU W.P.No.8788 of 2011 ORDER: This writ petition is filed to issue a writ, order or direction more particularly in the nature of Writ of Mandamus directing the respondents to consider the candidature of the petitioners and appoint them as Contract Junior Linemen in the 2nd respondent- organization, by taking into consideration their services as contract labour in the organization. The brief facts, that are necessary for the disposal of the writ petition, are stated as follows: The petitioners served under the 3rd respondent as Electricians from the year 2001 on contract basis. The 2nd respondent issued a notification for filling up 1434 vacancies of Junior Lineman on contract basis in the year 2006 and the same was revised by adding certain clauses. In pursuance of the said notification, the petitioners have applied for the said post and they were called for the pole climbing test and interview. However, the petitioners were not given appointment, though they were successful in the pole climbing test and other tests. The 3rd respondent has to take appropriate decision as to whether the petitioners are eligible to be appointed as Junior Linemen or not. Though petitioners have no right of appointment to a particular post, but they have a right to be considered for appointment to a post, if they are otherwise eligible and qualified. Therefore, the writ petition is disposed of directing the 3rd respondent to consider the cases of the petitioners in accordance with the Rules and Regulations and also the requisite conditions laid down in the notification and pass appropriate orders within a period of eight weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order and thereafter, communicate the same to the petitioners. There shall be no order as to costs. __________ 25.04.2011 JSU THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE K.C.BHANU W.P.No.8788 of 2011 Date: 25.04.2011
