IN THE HIGH COURT OF BOMBAY AT GOA WRIT PETITION NO. 560 OF 2008 SHRI. VIKAS SURYA SATARDEKAR ... Petitioner Versus STATE OF GOA THROUGH CHIEF SECRETARY AND ANR., ... Respondents Mr. Rohit Bras De Sa, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. S. S. Kantak, Advocate General with Mr. A. Kamat, Addl. Govt. Advocate for the respondents. Coram:- P. B. MAJMUDAR & N. A. BRITTO, JJ. Date:- 19th January, 2009 P.C. By the present petition, the petitioner prays that his representation should be disposed of as ordered in the earlier Writ Petition No.221/08. It is also prayed that the respondents may be directed to appoint the petitioner on the permanent post of Draughtsman. 2. It is the case of the petitioner that he was offered appointment on the temporary post of Draughtsman by Memorandum dated 28.9.06, but till today no appointment order is issued to him. In this connection, it is required to be noted that earlier this Court had directed the Government to decide the representation of the petitioner. During the pendency of this writ petition, as per the orders of this Court, the respondents considered the representation of the petitioner and rejected the representation for appointment to the post of Draughtsman. A copy of the decision by the respondent No.2 is placed on record by the learned Counsel for the petitioner. 3. It has been pointed out by the learned Advocate General that at the relevant time, there was not even a clear vacancy to the post of Draughtsman. Considering the said aspect, in our view, this Court cannot direct the State Government to give appointment to the petitioner simply because he was offered the appointment by the Department. No appointment orders could be issued, unless there is is any sanctioned post in the establishment of the Government. The representation of the petitioner has been accordingly rejected by the concerned Department on 29.8.08. In view of the same, no relief can be granted to the petitioner. However, in future if any vacancy arises, it will be open to the petitioner to apply, and if the petitioner applies, his application may be considered in accordance with law and as per the Rules. Subject to what is stated hereinabove, the petition is rejected. P. B. MAJMUDAR, J. N. A. BRITTO, J. ssm.
