THE HON’BLE MR JUSTICE L. NARASIMHA REDDY Writ Petition No.22691 of 2011 ORDER: The Central Power Distribution Company Limited, the 1st respondent herein, issued notification in 2006, inviting applications to fill the posts of Junior Linemen on contractual basis. Preference to certain extent was given in favour of contractual workers, that are discharging the duties by the date of notification. Petitioner submitted application, and his case was also considered. One of the conditions is that an applicant must clear the pole climbing test. The petitioner was subjected to that test on 09-06-2007. However, he did not clear the same. Therefore, his case was not considered, and he was kept out of the purview of selection. Recently, this Court found that some of the appointments made to the said selection process were contrary to law and directions were issued to fill the future vacancies by the persons who are wrongfully denied appointment. Steps are being taken in that direction. The petitioner seeks a direction to the respondents to consider his case also. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and learned Standing Counsel for the respondents. As observed earlier, the selection process is only in respect of those persons, who are wrongfully denied appointment, due to misinterpretation of a clause in the notification. It is not in dispute that the petitioner was no where in the reckoning, since he failed in the pole climbing test. Therefore, the question of his being considered at this stage does not arise. The writ petition is accordingly dismissed. There shall be no order as to costs. _______________________ L. NARASIMHA REDDY, J. Dt.11-08-2011. KO
