The case of the petitioner is that in pursuance of the notification issued by the 3rd respondent in the year 1990, she was appointed as a lecturer in the department of zoology on adhoc basis. Thereafter, the 3rd respondent sent proposals to the Osmania University for approval of her appointment, and accordingly, the University has approved her appointment. Thereafter, the 3rd respondent sent proposals to the 2nd respondent to admit the post of lecturer in zoology in grant-in-aid vacancy. The same has not yet been considered by the 2nd respondent. The learned counsel for the petitioner contended that though the 3rd respondent sent proposals on 03.03.2003, 17.05.2004 and 05.06.2004, the 2nd respondent has not taken any appropriate decision in accordance with law. On the other hand, the learned Government Pleader appearing for the respondents 1 and 2 contended that the 2nd respondent has to take a decision on the proposals sent by the 3rd respondent in accordance with law. Therefore, without going into the merits of the case and factual aspects, the Writ Petition is disposed of, with a direction to the 2nd respondent to consider the recommendations made by the 3rd respondent to admit the post of lecturer in zoology in grant-in-aid vacancy in accordance with law, within a period of three months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order.
