THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.23730 OF 2005 Dt:07.11.2005 Between: K.hiranjeevi Rao and others … Petitioners and The District Employment Officer and others. … Respondents THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.23730 OF 2005 ORDER: The petitioners seek the relief of a direction to the respondents to consider their cases for the post of Fitters without insisting on sponsoring by the Employment Exchange. It is stated that the petitioners hold requisite qualifications for that post and that respondents 2 and 3 are refusing to consider their cases on the ground that they were not sponsored by the first respondent. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioners and the learned standing counsel for the respondents. It is true that a candidate is entitled to be considered for appointment through public service, even if his case is not sponsored by the Employment Exchange, provided he holds the requisite qualifications. This Court certainly would have considered the feasibility of issuing appropriate directions. However, the written test, which was prescribed, for selection to the instant post has already been conducted on 06.11.2005. In that view of the matter, no relief can be granted to the petitioners, at this stage. Hence, the writ petition is dismissed. ______________ 07.11.2005 kdl
