THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE V.V.S.RAO AND THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE RAMESH RANGANATHAN WRIT APPEAL No.520 of 2010 July 14, 2010 Between: The Dravidian University, Kuppam, Chittoor District, represented by its Registrar, Sri C.Varadarajulu Naidu … Appellant And Dr.N.Susheela, D/o.Late Narayanappa And another ... Respondents THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE V.V.S.RAO AND THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE RAMESH RANGANATHAN WRIT APPEAL No.520 of 2010 ORDER: (Per Hon’ble Sri Justice Ramesh Ranganathan) The Dravidian University, Kuppam, represented by its Registrar, has preferred this appeal against the order passed by the learned Single Judge in W.P.M.P. No.18963 of 2010 in W.P. No.15056 of 2010, dated 29.06.2010, whereby interim stay of all further proceedings, pursuant to the notification dated 22.06.2010 insofar as it related to the post of Associate Professor in Comparative Dravidian Literature & Philosophy reserved for Scheduled Caste (Woman) category, was granted pending disposal of the writ petition. The notification under challenge invited applications for different posts including that of Associate Professor in Comparative Dravidian Literature & Philosophy reserved for the Scheduled Caste (Woman). The notification makes it clear that it would be subject to the result of W.P. No.5615 of 2007 pending before this Court, and appointment would be made to the said post only after disposal of the said Writ Petition. Sri M. Rama Rao, Learned Counsel for the appellant, would submit that, since no appointment is being made to the post of Associate Professor in Comparative Dravidian Literature & Philosophy, (which is reserved for Scheduled Caste (Woman) category), till W.P. No.5615 of 2007 is disposed of, the action of the appellant University in proceeding with selection of candidates, pursuant to the impugned notification, would not prejudice the petitioner. Sri V. Jagapathi, Learned Counsel for first respondent-writ petitioner would submit that the very process of issuance of a notification, and inviting applications is only to select some other to the post of Associate professor in Comparative Dravidian Literature & Philosophy, and prejudice would be caused to the petitioner as third party rights would be created thereby. As is clear from the impugned notification, the Appellant University does not intend to make any appointment to, much less fill up, the post of Associate Professor in Comparative Dravidian Literature & Philosophy. Mere selection of candidates would not confer any right on them to claim that they be appointed to the said post as the notification makes it clear that even this selection would be subject to the result of W.P. No.5615 of 2007. Since no person is being appointed as Associate professor in Comparative Dravidian Literature & Philosophy, under the impugned notification, the petitioner cannot be said to have suffered any prejudice merely on a notification being issued in this regard. We consider it appropriate, therefore, to set aside the order dated 29.07.2010 passed by the Learned Single Judge in W.P.M.P. No.18963 of 2010 in W.P. No.15056 of 2010. The Writ Appeal is, accordingly, allowed. However, in the circumstances, without costs. ______________ V.V.S.RAO, J Date: 14.07.2010 ____________________________ RAMESH RANGANATHAN,J YS
