THE HON’BLE MR JUSTICE L. NARASIMHA REDDY W.P.No.25418 of 2009 ORDER: The post of Government Pleader in the Court of District Judge, Ranga Reddy District became vacant. The petitioner is appointed as In-charge Government Pleader, initially through orders in G.O.Ms.No.1596, Law (L 2) Department, dated 01-10-2009, and thereafter, through an order of the District Collector, in exercise of power under G.O.Ms.No.187, dated 06-12-2000. Steps for appointment of the Government Pleader, on regular basis, were initiated. It is stated that in the panel forwarded by the Principal District and Sessions Judge, the 3rd respondent, to the District Collector, the 2nd respondent, and the Government, the 1st respondent; the name of the petitioner did not figure. The petitioner contends that, since he is discharging the functions of Government Pleader, his name ought to have been considered by the 3rd respondent. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner, learned Government Pleader for respondents 1 and 2, and learned counsel for the 3rd respondent. The Government issued Andhra Pradesh Law Officers (Appointment and Conditions of Service) Instructions, 2000, through G.O.Ms.No.187, dated 06-12-2000, prescribing the procedure for appointment of Law Officers. This District Collector is conferred with the power to make recommendations, after ascertaining the views of the concerned District Judge. The criteria to be followed in this regard are appended, as a note, to Clause-5. The ultimate appointing authority is the 1st respondent. This Court cannot interfere with the discretion, that is specifically conferred upon various authorities, unless it is established, that the discretion is not properly exercised. Even that eventuality would arise, only when the exercise by various authorities ultimately leads to an order of appointment. If the petitioner faces any grievance at this stage, he can certainly take the same to the notice of the 1st respondent, which, in turn, can ensure that the prescribed norms are followed by various authorities provided for, under the instructions. Hence, the writ petition is disposed of, leaving it open to the petitioner to ventilate his grievances before the 1st respondent. Since the matter relating to appointment of Government Pleader in the existing vacancy has given rise to several proceedings before this Court itself, it is directed that the process shall be completed, as early as possible, and not later than two months, from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. There shall be no order as to costs. _______________________ L. NARASIMHA REDDY, J. Dt.25-02-2010. KO
