THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE T.CH.SURYA RAO Writ Petition No.25009 of 1997 Dated 05-07-2006 Between: A.Padmasri, D/o A.Venkateswara Reddy, Aged about 23 years, r/o Darivada Kothapalem, Bapatla. .. Petitioner and The Commissioner and Director of School Education, Near L.B.Stadium, Basheer Bhag, Hyderabad and another .. Respondents THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE T.CH.SURYA RAO Writ Petition No.25009 of 1997 ORDER: The petitioner seeks a Writ of Mandamus declaring the action of the respondent in not considering the petitioner for the post of Secondary Grade Teacher as illegal and arbitrary and to declare further that the petitioner is entitled for the selection of the said post. The petitioner appeared for the written examination for the recruitment of School Assistants in the SGBT Teachers post, conducted by the District Selection Committee, Guntur, on 02nd and 03rd March, 1996. Her Hall Ticket number was 07-104569 for Secondary Grade Teacher and 06-501093 for School Assistant. It is her case that she wrote well in the examination and was expecting a minimum of 60 to 65% marks. However, she was not selected, as per the two lists published declaring the results. Obviously, the Writ Petition has become infructuous. Entire selection process must have been completed soon after the publication of the selection list, at any rate not later than a reasonable period of month or couple of months thereafterwards. At this stage, the request of the petitioner, after a long lapse of nearly a decade, cannot be considered. If a direction were to be given in favour of the petitioner, at this stage, it would unsettle the settled position. The request of the petitioner, in that view of the matter, cannot be considered. Writ Petition, therefore, becomes infructuous and is dismissed accordingly. The counsel appearing for the petitioner is entitled to the usual fees, since it is a legal aid matter. No costs. __________________ T.CH.SURYA RAO, J. 05th July, 2006. skmr
