THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE GOPALA KRISHNA TAMADA WRIT PETITION No.3622 of 2010 DATE:18.02.2010 Between: Kaja Pasha ... Petitioner and The Regional Manager, APSRTC, Mahaboobnagar Region at Mahaboobnagar ... Respondent THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE GOPALA KRISHNA TAMADA WRIT PETITION No.3622 of 2010 ORDER: According to the petitioner, pursuant to the notification inviting applications to fill up the post of drivers on contract basis in Mahaboobnagar Region, issued by the respondent in the year 2008, he has applied for the same. Thereafter, he was empannelled in the approved list of selected candidates, having qualified in the driving test and medical test. While so, he was not given posting orders in the first stage and was kept under waiting list. Though he approached the respondent many times and requested him to give posting orders, there was no response from him. So, he made a representation to the respondent seeking information about the selection list. In response thereto, the respondent sent a letter dated 27.10.2009 stating that he had already sent a letter dated 22.12.2008 under certificate of posting advising him to report duty. Immediately thereafter, he approached the respondent and informed him about non-receipt of the letter dated 22.12.2008, but the same was not considered by him. Aggrieved thereby, he approached this Court and filed the present writ petition. 2. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned standing counsel for A.P.S.R.T.C. 3. Learned standing counsel for A.P.S.R.T.C. has submitted that a letter dated 22.12.2008 was sent to the petitioner under certificate of posting advising him to report duty on or before 29.12.2008. As the petitioner did not respond to the said letter, his name was deleted from out of the list duly giving opportunity to the next candidate in the waiting list. 4. It is apparent that the petitioner was qualified in the driving test and medical test and selected as driver, pursuant to the notification issued by the respondent. May be, the petitioner was empannelled in the approved list of selected candidates, but unless and until there is communication directing him to report duty, he cannot approach the respondent and report duty. As seen from the record, it is clear that there is no acknowledgment in token of receipt of the letter dated 22.12.2008 by the petitioner which was sent under certificate of posting. Any way, as the petitioner is one of the candidates who were selected for the post of drivers and if the post of driver of any nomenclature is vacant, the respondent is hereby directed to consider the case of the petitioner for appointment as a driver. 5. With the above direction, the writ petition is disposed of. There shall be no order as to costs. __________________________________ GOPALA KRISHNA TAMADA, J 18th February, 2010 CBS THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE GOPALA KRISHNA TAMADA WRIT PETITION No.3622 of 2010 (Disposed of) 18th February, 2010 CBS
