THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE C.V. RAMULU WRIT PETITION No.21574 OF 2007 DATED: 11-10-2007 Between: Kottapalli Sammiah and others. .. Petitioners and The Chairman and Managing Director, APNPDCL, Corporate Office, Opp: NIT Petrol Pump, Warangal and others. .. Respondents THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE C.V. RAMULU WRIT PETITION No.21574 OF 2007 ORDER: This writ petition is filed seeking a Mandamus declaring the action of the respondent Corporation in not considering the candidature of the petitioners for appointment to the post of Junior Lineman as arbitrary, illegal and violative of Articles 14 and 16 of the Constitution of India. It appears, petitioners are working as contract labour with the contractors engaged by the respondent Corporation and, in pursuance of a notification issued by the Corporation on 21.10.2006, they have applied for the post of Junior Lineman (contract). When they were not called for interview, they had to approach this Court and thereafter they were interviewed on 30.5.2007 and 31.5.2007. Now the grievance of the petitioners is that though they fared well in the interview, they were not selected for appointment. According to the learned counsel for petitioners, when the petitioners approached the respondents, they were informed that since they have filed writ petitions before this Court, they were not appointed. 2 In view of the above, without expressing any opinion on merits, the respondents are directed to declare the results of the interviews held on 30.5.2007 and 31.5.2007 and, if the petitioners are found eligible for being appointed as Junior Lineman (contract), they shall be offered appointment in the existing vacancies, if they are otherwise eligible as per law, within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. With the above direction, the writ petition is disposed of. No order as to costs. _____________ C.V.RAMULU, J 11th October, 2007 Note: Issue C.C. in three (3) days. Bo IBL
