The State of A.P. Rep. by it's Secretary, Industries and Commerce Department, Secretariat , Hyderabad. 2. The Director - Welfare & Administration, Singareni Colleries Company Ltd, Kothagudem, Khammam Dist. .....RESPONDENTS The Court made the following: ORDER: Challenging the impugned action of the respondents in not providing employment to the petitioner under land loosers category in spite of directions issued by the first respondent in Government Memo No.813/1D/B1-2, Industries and Commerce Department, Hyderaad, dated 07.07.1987, the present writ petition has been filed. The main grievance of the petitioner is that in spite of the certificate called land loosers certificate issued by the Revenue Divisional Officer, Palvancha, the petitioner made several representations from time to time to the second respondent to provide employment to him under land loosers category. But, the second respondent has not provided any employment to him till today under land loosers category even though certain instructions given by the first respondent in Government Memo No.813/1D/B1-2, Industries and Commerce Department, Hyderabad dated 07.07.1987. Having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case and in view of the fact that the Government issued instructions in Government Memo No.813/1D/B1-2, Industries and Commerce Department, Hyderabad, dated 07.07.1987, it is for the second respondent to take necessary steps whether or not the petitioner is eligible for providing employment under land loosers category in accordance with the rules and regulations as well as the Government instructions stated supra. Therefore, without going into the merits of the case, I deem it appropriate to direct the second respondent to consider the case of the petitioner under land loosers category, if he is qualified, in accordance with the rules and regulations as well as the Government instructions stated supra, subject to the availability of the said scheme. With the above direction, the writ petition is disposed of. No costs. _______________ (K.C. BHANU, J) Date: 30.08.2005 Ksn
