But liberty was reserved to the petitioner that in case vacancies were to be notified for being filled up, application can be made and it will be duly considered with compassion. There is no manner of doubt that petitioner in case is otherwise entitled for being considered for the posts which have now been notified and has in fact applied for being considered, there is no reason why such application will not be considered on its own merits along with others. Petitioner cannot claim any preferential right for being appointed. Application of the petitioner will have to be considered on par with other candidates. With these observations, writ petition stands disposed of. ___________________ DEVINDER GUPTA, CJ 7-9-2004 _____________ C.V.RAMULU, J tvr To 1 The Registrar (Administration), High Court of A.P.,Hyderabad-66. 2 The District Judge, West Godavari District, Eluru-534006. 3 2 CCs to the Standing Counsel for the High Court of A.P., High Court Buildings, Hyderabad (OUT). 4 2 CD copies.
