Counsel for the Petitioner : MR. R.THIMMA REDDY Counsel for the Respondents : MR B. SIVA REDDY The Court made the following : THE HON’BLE MS. JUSTICE G.ROHINI WRIT PETITION NO.2693 OF 1994 ORAL ORDER : The petitioner who claims to have been working in A.P. Agricultural College, Aswaraopet, Khammam District on daily wage basis filed this writ petition contending that though he has been working for the past several years and in spite of the fact that regular vacancies are available, the respondent University failed to absorb him on regular basis. It is also alleged that some of the juniors to the petitioner have been appointed and posted in permanent vacancies in different cadres, but without there being any justifiable reason the respondents failed to consider the claim of the petitioner. Thus, the petitioner seeks a Writ of Mandamus directing the respondents to appoint him in any permanent vacancy in any suitable post in the A.P. Agricultual College, Aswaraopet, Khammam District. Though Rule Nisi was issued on 17-06-1994 and the writ petition has been pending for the past more than 10 years, the respondent University has not chosen to file any counter-affidavit. In the absence of counter-affidavit, the averments of the petitioner have to be accepted. In the circumstances, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the writ petition with a direction to the respondents to consider the claim of the petitioner for absorbing him on regular basis if he is eligible under the law. Accordingly, the Writ Petition is disposed of. No costs. ________________ 15th July, 2004.
