IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE, ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD (Special Original Jurisdiction) PRESENT THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE R.SUBHASH REDDY WRIT PETITION NO : 19825 of 2006 Dated 22nd September, 2006 Between C.Ramakrishna Reddy … Petitioner And The Vice-Chairman & Managing Director A.P.Backward Classes Coop. Finance Corporation Limited, Government of Andhra Pradesh, Masab Tank, Hyderabad and others. …Respondents. ORAL ORDER: In this writ petition, the petitioner, who worked as Assistant Executive Officer in the District Backward Classes Service Cooperative Society Limited, Chittoor and retired on 30.6.2004, seeks a direction by way of mandamus to declare the action of the second respondent in not considering the representation of the petitioner dated 24.7.2006 as illegal. The petitioner stating that after his retirement he is hale and healthy, filed an application before the Vice-Chairman and Managing Director of A.P. Backward Classes Cooperative Finance Corporation Limited, which is forwarded to the District Collector, Chittoor for appointment on contract basis. On the ground that his application was not considered, he has approached this court. Admittedly, the petitioner had served till he attained the age of superannuation i.e. up to 30.6.2004. While it is open for the respondents to consider the application of the petitioner for appointment on contract basis, but, no direction can be given to appoint the petitioner on contract basis. Hence, the writ petition is disposed of keeping it open for the respondents to consider the claim of the petitioner, if his services are required. No costs. _____________________ 22.9.2006 R.SUBHASH REDDY, J. VR
