THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No. 6534 OF 2008 Dt: 27th March 2008 Between: B. Srinu & others …Petitioners and The Central Power Distribution Company Of A.P. Ltd., rep.by its Divisional Engineer, Suryapet;, Nalgonda District & others …Respondents THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No. 6534 OF 2008 O R D E R: The petitioners assail the order, dated 22.2.2008, through which the respondents 4 to 14 and several others, were promoted to the post of Assistant Lineman. The petitioners contend that they were appointed as Junior Lineman, earlier to respondents 8 to 14, and though respondent 4, 5, 6 and 7 are seniors to them, they would have been promoted, earlier to respondents 4 to 14, had the Rule of Reservation under Article 16(4) been followed, in the matter of promotion to the post of Assistant Lineman. Their grievance is that they were denied promotion on a wrong assumption of facts and law. They claim to have made a representation, dated 10.3.2008, to respondents 1 to 3. Heard Sri M.Venkatram Reddy, learned counsel for the petitioners, and Sri P.R.Balarami Reddy, learned Standing Counsel for respondents 1 to 3. Though the petitioners have urged several contentions, assailing the promotion of respondents 4 to 14, this court is not inclined to deal with the same, at this stage. The reason is that the petitioners have submitted a detailed and comprehensive representation to the respondents 1 to 3, pointing out their grievance. Not only the question of seniority, but also implementation of reservation in promotions, need to be examined. Unless the respondents have an opportunity to verify the matter in detail and give their response, the petitioners would not be in a position to know the basis for the promotion effected to respondents 4 to 14. Respondents 2 and 3 can be directed to examine the representation made by the petitioners and pass appropriate orders, within a stipulated time. The writ petition is disposed of, directing the respondents 2 and 3 to examine the representation dated 10.3.2008, submitted by the petitioners, and pass appropriate orders thereon, within a period of two months, from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. There shall be no order as to costs. _________________ 27th March 2008 Note: Issue C.C. in one week. (B/0) PAN
