No.866 of 2000 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Dated this the 11th day of January, 2008 JUDGMENT Petitioner has approached this court praying for a direction to the respondents to appoint the petitioner as Part-time Librarian. The respondent issued a notification calling for application for appointment as Part-time Librarian in the Cultural Centre. Petitioner was called for interview. Select list was published. Petitioner was second in the list. Present rank No.1 did not join duty and informed the respondents that he is not interested. Petitioner therefore approached this court praying that he may be appointed as part-time Librarian. This court by interim order dated 30.3.2000 passed the following order: “The respondents do not appear in spite of service of notice. Therefore, the respondents are directed to appoint the petitioner provisionally and subject to further orders from this court as part-time Librarian.” 2. Today also there is no appearance on behalf of the respondents. Nothing brought forth against the right of the petitioner to be appointed as part-time Librarian. I must proceed on the basis that the O.P. 866/2000. 2 petitioner was ranked No.2. In such circumstances, I make the interim order absolute. The Original Petition is disposed of as above. (K.M.
