IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE, ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD THE HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE C.V. RAMULU WRIT PETITION No. 14897 OF 2006 DATED: 23-11-2006 BETWEEN: Smt. Panyam Saraladevi ………Petitioner AND The District Collector (Civil Supplies), Kadapa District at Kadapa and four others ………Respondents THE HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE C.V. RAMULU WRIT PETITION No. 14897 OF 2006 ORDER: This writ petition is filed seeking a certiorari to call for the records relating to proceedings No. Ref B/1026/2004 dated 06-03-2006 on the file of the third respondent and quash the same as illegal and arbitrary. It appears that in pursuance of notification dated 07-01-2006 issued by the third respondent, the petitioner, the fifth respondent and some other persons have applied for the vacancy of 2/3 ward of Proddutur Town, Kadapa District. In the interview conducted by the authorities, the fifth respondent was selected for the post. It is the case of the petitioner that she passed Intermediate and faired well in the interview whereas the fifth respondent has no basic qualification of pass in SSC. This is the only allegation made against the fifth respondent. In the counter filed by the third respondent, it has been categorically asserted that the fifth respondent satisfied all the conditions as prescribed in G.O.Ms.No.53, dated 06-10-2003 and she passed SSC during 1985. Insofar as the petitioner is concerned, it is stated that she is only 21 years old and she has no knowledge about the public distribution system and that she was not even able to differentiate between white card and pink card. In view of the above, I am of the opinion that the appointment of the fifth respondent is neither illegal nor arbitrary as alleged by the petitioner. The writ petition is devoid of merits and is liable to be dismissed. Accordingly, the writ petition is dismissed. No order as to costs. ______________________ (C.V. RAMULU, J) Dated: 23-11-2006 ks
