Counsel for the Petitioner: MR.P.S.P.SURESH KUMAR Counsel for the Respondents: MR.KASAJAGANMOHAN REDDY The Court made the following ORDER: Sri Venkateswara University, the first respondent herein, issued a notification, dated 10.11.2006, inviting applications from the candidates for various posts including Associate Professors in Botany. One of the vacancies was reserved in favour of B.C-D women. The petitioner submitted her application and interviews were conducted on 04.05.2007. She did not receive any intimation as to the result of the interview. However, a fresh notification was issued on 27.08.2007 for the same post. The petitioner responded and, she being the only candidate, was interviewed on 13.11.2007, her grievance is that nothing was intimated to her, though several months have elapsed. When the writ petition came up for admission on 23.06.2008, it was adjourned till today to enable the learned Standing Counsel to obtain instructions. He has placed before this Court a copy of the minutes of the Selection Committee. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Standing Counsel for the respondents. It is true that the petitioner was the only candidate for the post of Associate Professor in Botany reserved in favour of B.C-D Women, on both the occasions. Obviously because she was not selected at the first instance in pursuance of the notification, dated 10.11.2006, the vacancy was notified once again on 27.08.2007. The minutes of the Selection Committee, which met on 13.11.2007, discloses that the petitioner was the only candidate who appeared in the interview and she was not found suitable. Therefore, no illegality can be said to have been taken place. The rules do not provide for communication of the results, in the event of a candidate not being selected. The writ petition is accordingly dismissed. There shall be no order as to costs. _____________________ L.NARASIMHA REDDY, J Dt:30.06.2008 kdl .....
