Counsel for the Petitioner: MR.N.SREEKANTH Counsel for the Respondents: P.R.BALARAMI REDDY(SC FOR AP TRANSCO) The Court made the following ORDER: The petitioner was engaged as Skilled Worker by the second respondent-company from the year 1999 onwards. In pursuance of a notification issued for the selection of Junior Linemen on contract basis, the petitioner submitted an application. However, his case was not considered on the ground that he did not clear the pole climbing test. The petitioner states that he suffered injuries while discharging the duties and thereby, he is not able to clear the test. He filed W.P.No.11219 of 2007 with a prayer to direct the respondents to exempt him from clearing the pole climbing test. The writ petition was disposed of on 21.06.2007, directing the respondents not to insist upon the petitioner to clear the pole climbing test. His grievance is that no action has been taken thereon. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Standing Counsel for the respondents. On a perusal of the record, it becomes clear that though this Court had granted the relief to the petitioner, the interviews were concluded in the first week of June 2007 itself, whereas the order in W.P.No.11219 of 2007 was passed on 21.06.2007. Therefore, no relief can be granted to the petitioner, at this stage. However, as and when the respondents undertake appointment or selection of Junior Linemen, the case of the petitioner shall be considered, in accordance with the directions issued by this court in W.P.No.11219 of 2007. The writ petition is accordingly disposed of. There shall be no order as to costs. ___________________ L.NARASIMHA REDDY,J Dt:22.04.2008. kdl .....
