THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE G.CHANDRAIAH WRIT PETITION NO.31519 OF 2011 ORDER: This Writ Petition is filed seeking a writ of Mandamus declaring the selection to the post of Lecturer in Telugu in pursuance of advertisement vide Supplemental Notifications 16/2010 to notification No.12/2009 dated 13.10.2009 in so far as the post of Lecturers in Telugu is concerned as arbitrary, illegal, biased and discriminatory and consequently to nullify the same by directing the respondents to conduct the interviews afresh and pass necessary orders. 2. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader for the respondents. 3. The case of the petitioner is that he did his M.A in Telugu from Nagarjuna University and also qualified in UGC National Eligibility Test conducted by the UGC and presently he is pursuing his Ph.D course in Telugu from Osmania University; that he is fully eligible for the post of Lecturer in Degree Colleges. It is stated that the 1st respondent has issued a supplemental notification to fill up more than 1000 posts and out of which 77 posts are earmarked for the discipline of Telugu; that he belongs to Scheduled Tribe and he has eligible criteria for the post notified. 4. It is further stated that the written test was conducted on 14.8.2011 wherein he is qualified and secured maximum number of marks and that when interviews were held on 21st to 23rd November, 2011, he shocked to face 4th respondent i.e., Porof. M. Andamma of Osmania University as Subject Expert in the interview board; that till he entered the room, he is not aware of her presence and she is otherwise inimical towards him and she has an aversion for Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes; that the way in which the interview was held and the manner in which the 4th respondent became the member of the Selection Committee and the methodology in which she selected her own students to a maximum extent, depriving a person who got more than 290 out of 450 marks in written examination, that too being a candidate belonging to Scheduled Tribe, reflects total arbitrariness, bias, discrimination and the very participation of a person who trained a section of the students appearing for the interview, vitiate the entire interview process, in so far as the Telugu faculty is concerned. Further, award of marks in interview is not based on any valid and justifiable criteria and it is totally subjective satisfaction of the members, who were under the eclipse of the 4th respondent, who deliberately marred his career. Hence, he field the present writ petition. 5. The learned Standing Counsel appearing for the respondents submitted that the subject matter covered in the present writ petition is pertaining to the service matter and hence the writ petition is not maintainable before this Court. In this regard, he relied upon a decision reported in L. Chandra Kumar vs. Union of India[1] 6. Having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case, especially in view of the submission made by the learned Government Pleader for the respondents, the writ petition is dismissed as not maintainable. However, the petitioner is at liberty to approach the appropriate Forum for his redressal. 7. Accordingly, the Writ Petition is dismissed. No order as to costs. _________________ G.CHANDRAIAH,J 26.12.2011 Gk. THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE G.CHANDRAIAH WRIT PETITION NO.31519 OF 2011 DATE:26.12.2011 GK. [1] 1997(3) SCC 261
