He complains that though his qualifications enable him to apply, he is not being considered on the ground that his case has not been sponsored by the Employment Exchange. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader for Higher Education. Time and again, the Hon’ble Supreme Court held that the sponsoring by Employment Exchange is not essential for considering the case of the individuals for appointment. Much would depend upon the eligibility of the candidates and the qualifications held by them. Hence, the writ petition is disposed of, directing that the candidature of the petitioner shall be considered, in case he fulfills the qualifications as to age, education, etcetera. There shall be no order as to costs. __________________ L.NARASIMHA REDDY,J Dt:26.06.2008. kdl ..... REGISTRAR // TRUE COPY // SECTION OFFICER To 1.2CCs to 2.2CD copies Form-NIC-OGS/WP{BMR}
