Late P.Abdul Hameed, R/o. Kothapeta, Dharmavaram, Anantapur District. ..... PETITIONER AND 1 The Rigional Deputy Director, Legal Metrology, Kurnool. 2 The Controller Legal Metrology, Government of Andhra Pradesh, Hyderabad. .....RESPONDENTS Counsel for the Petitioner:NONE APPEARED Counsel for the Respondents:AGP FOR CIVIL SUPPLIES The Court made the following : ORDER: This writ petition is ﬁled for a writ of mandamus to set aside memo, dated 04.12.2001 issued by respondent No.1. At the hearing, there is no representation for the petitioner. I have heard the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Civil Supplies and perused the record. By memo, dated 24.11.2001, the petitioner was directed to appear before the Regional Deputy Controller, Legal Metrology, Kurnool, on 04.12.2001 at 11.30 a.m., along with the required documents, which include Educational Qualiﬁcations Certiﬁcate. The contention of the petitioner is that insistence on a pass in SSC examination, which is a condition of eligibility to appear for the Skilled Worker Test in category-I, is arbitrary and illegal. In the counter-aﬃdavit ﬁled by the Regional Deputy Controller, Legal Metrology, Kurnool, it is inter alia averred that the petitioner has undertaken to appear for SSC examination in March, 2002 and accordingly, he got through the said examination in March, 2002. It is also averred that in pursuance of the interim direction given by this Court on 19.12.2001, the petitioner was permitted to appear for Skilled Worker Test and that the result of the same would be declared subject to his eligibility, if he gets through the SSC examination. Though the contents of the counter-aﬃdavit are mutually contradictory, since a categorical averment is made that the petitioner got through the SSC examination in March, 2002, there could be no impediment for declaring the petitioner’s result of the Skilled Worker Test. The writ petition is accordingly, disposed of with the direction to the respondents to declare the petitioner’s result of the Skilled Worker Test, if he has got through the SSC examination.
