THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.24564 of 2011 ORDER: The 3rd respondent i.e., Superintending Engineer, A.P.Transco is entrusting the work of maintenance of sub-stations to Contractors. At one stage, conditions were imposed to the effect that the Contractors so engaged must draw the persons from the employment exchange. The petitioner states that though his name is registered with the employment exchange, he was not sponsored by them in the context of engagement of contract labour. He seeks appropriate directions in this regard. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Standing Counsel for the 3rd respondent. It is true that at one point of time, the 3rd respondent insisted that a contractor must draw the persons to work in sub-stations only from the employment exchange. However on finding that there are some difficulties in it, the condition was relaxed. Further, even where the Rules provide for the drawl of candidates from employment exchange, the Supreme Court held that the other eligible candidates must also be considered. Therefore, the writ petition is disposed of, directing that the candidature of the petitioner shall be considered, without insisting on sponsoring by the employment exchange, as and when the employment on outsourcing or contract basis is taken up. There shall be no order as to costs. __________ 09.09.2011 JSU THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.24564 of 2011 Date: 09.09.2011 JSU
