THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE NOOTY RAMAMOHANA RAO W.P.No.18465 OF 2010 ORDER: This writ petition has been instituted seeking a writ of mandamus for declaring the Proceedings dated 26-07-2010, issued by the Superintending Engineer (Operations), A.P.C.P.D.C.L., Anantapur, as bad in law. The writ petitioners apprehend that respondents 3 to 6 herein are likely to be promoted and since they are juniors to the writ petitioners their cases are required to be considered before their juniors are so promoted. Heard Sri P.R. Balarami Reddy for the respondent Corporation. By Proceedings dated 26-07-2010, all that the Superintending Engineer did was to convene a Departmental Promotion Committee (DPC) on 30-07- 2010, to consider the cases of eligible employees for promotion to the posts of J.A.O., U.D.C., F.M. Gr-I & S.L.I. He has intimated to all the five Members of the D.P.C., to make it convenient to attend the D.P.C., meeting on 30- 07-2010, positively. It is, therefore, manifestly clear that a meeting of the D.P.C., is going to be convened for the purpose of considering the cases of eligible employees for promotion. The writ petitioners have appeared for the departmental test conducted in May 2010, the results of which have not yet been published. Obviously, they are intending to postpone the meeting of the D.P.C., till such time their results are published. This is an exercise, which is not warranted. If the results of the departmental test are published subsequent to the meeting, based upon such results the writ petitioners can always seeks review of their cases for consideration for promotion in case they have not been considered by the D.P.C. Therefore, I do not see any reason to admit the writ petition and hence, the same is dismissed at the admission stage. No costs. --------------------------------- Nooty Ramamohana Rao, J mrk 30th July 2010
