THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION NO. 26447 OF 2005 Dated 13th December 2005 Between: M.Lingaiah. …Petitioner And The District Employment Officer, KhammamDistrict. …Respondent THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION NO. 26447 OF 2005 O R D E R: The petitioner states that he has been registered with the District Employment Exchange, Khammam District, the respondent herein. The Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalaya, Kusumanchi of Paleru, Khammam District, the 2nd respondent, is said to have issued a notification, inviting applications for selection of candidates for the post of “Watchman”. It is alleged that the interview are scheduled to take place on 13.12.2005, or any other subsequent notified date. The grievance of the petitioner is that since his case is not being sponsored by the 1st respondent, the 2nd respondent has not considered his candidature for the said post. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner, and learned Government Pleader for Social Welfare. Though sponsoring of candidates, through Employment Exchange, is treated as one of the known sources of candidates for consideration for employment, in Government service and Public Sector undertakings, there does not exist any prohibition for them, in considering the case of eligible candidates, even if not sponsored by the Employment Exchange. There are several judgments of the Supreme Court and this Court, on this aspect. Having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case, the writ petition is disposed of, directing the 2nd respondent to consider the candidature of the petitioner, without insisting on sponsoring by the Employment Exchange. There shall be no order as to costs. _____________________ 13th December 2005 Note: cc.tomorrow. (B/O) KO
