Counsel for the Petitioner: SMT.A.PANKAJA Counsel for the Respondents: MR.S.RAVINDRANATH (SC for Central Power Distribution Company Limited). The Court made the following : ORDER: Petitioner claims that he worked as a Contract Labour under the respondents- company and in pursuance of a notification, dated 15-11-2002 by the respondents- company inviting applications from the eligible candidates for the recruitment of LDC/Typist posts, he made an application with all the necessary certificates. The respondents-company issued a paper notification with the list of selected candidates for the interview to be held on 29-10-2002 directing them to attend the interview with original certificates at APSEB Guest House, Nakkalagutta, Hanmanwada, Warangal. Since the name of the petitioner is also mentioned in the list of candidates, who are eligible for interview, he appeared for the interview on 29-10- 2002. The grievance of the petitioner is that the respondents-company declared the results of a few candidates and no intimation has been given to others. The petitioner contended that as per the BPMS No.271 dated 31-12-1997 respondents have to declare the results of the unselected candidates also. But, the respondents did not declare the petitioner’s result for the interview conducted on 29-10-2002. Therefore, he approached this Court through this writ petition seeking a declaration that the action of the respondents in not declaring his result for the last two years is illegal, improper and arbitrary. In the light of the circumstances explained by the petitioner and on account of lapse of time, the petitioner is directed to make a fresh representation to the respondents for announcement of his result as per BPMS No.271 dated 31-12-1997 and the respondents shall, after receipt of the representation of the petitioner, intimate the result as per the BPMS No.271 dated 31-12-1997 within a period of four weeks from the date of receipt of the said representation. Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of. No costs. ____________ K.C.BHANU, J. Dated 04-02-2005. skmr .....
