THE HON’BLE MR JUSTICE L. NARASIMHA REDDY Writ Petition No.3463 of 2010 ORDER: A post of Government Pleader in the District and Sessions Court, Mahaboobnagar, is said to be vacant. As required under the relevant rules, the District Collector and District Magistrate, Mahaboobnagar, the 2nd respondent, prepared a panel of five names, for that purpose, and forwarded the same through letter, dated 16.12.2009, to the 1st respondent. The petitioner states that though two months have elapsed ever since the panel was forwarded, no action has been taken thereon by the 1st respondent, so far. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned Government Pleader for Home. The petitioner filed a copy of letter, dated 16.12.2009, and it shows that his name is included at serial No.5. The Government framed Rules in G.O.Ms.No.187, dated 06.12.2000, prescribing the procedure for appointment of Government Pleaders and Law Officers. An early decision, as regards filling up of a post of Government Pleader, would be in the interests of the Government as well as litigant public. Though the petitioner does not have any independent right to be appointed as a Government Pleader, he can certainly insist on a decision being taken in this regard, at the earliest. Hence, the Writ Petition is disposed of, directing that the 1st respondent shall consider the panel forwarded by the 2nd respondent for appointment to the post of Government Pleader, in the District and Sessions Court, Mahaboobnagar, and pass appropriate orders thereon, within a period of six weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. There shall be no order as costs. _____________________ L. NARASIMHA REDDY, J. Dt.17.02.2010. GJ
