HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE C.V. RAMULU WRIT PETITION No. 23275 of 1999 ORDER: This writ petition is filed by the petitioner seeking a Writ of Mandamus declaring the proceedings of the first respondent, dated 04.07.1997, restricting his admission into grant-in-post from 04.07.1997 and also rejection of his representation, dated 12.12.1997, vide proceedings dated 07.03.1998, as illegal, arbitrary and violative of Articles 14, 16 and 21 of the Constitution of India, and consequently, he is entitled for being absorbed into grant-in-aid post from 01.08.1995. It appears that, the petitioner was appointed in the second respondent-College on 12.12.1990 as a Junior Lecturer in English against an unaided vacancy. The said appointment was approved by the first respondent. While so, a vacancy arose in English in the year, 1995 in view of promotion of one S.Prabhakar Rao as a Principal. The second respondent-College, by proceedings dated 10.04.1997, had recommended for absorption of the petitioner after having selected by a duly constituted Selection Committee. The said recommendation was approved by the first respondent, by proceedings dated 04.07.1997. Now, the grievance of the petitioner is that since the vacancy had arisen in the subject of English on 01.08.1995, in view of promotion of one S.Prabhakar Rao as a Principal, he is entitled for regularisation of his services with effect from 01.08.1995 and not from 04.07.1997 as directed by the first respondent. It is unfortunate that such a submission is made by the petitioner. Mere arising of a vacancy would not give a right to be absorbed and regularized from the date of arising of the vacancy. After the vacancy arose, a properly constituted Selection Committee was constituted and the petitioner was subjected to selection and his case was recommended only on 10.04.1997, which was approved on 04.07.1997. Under these circumstances, the claim of the petitioner that he is entitled for regularization of his services with effect from 01.08.1995 is imaginary. Hence, the writ petition is devoid of merits and is liable to be dismissed. The Writ Petition is, accordingly, dismissed. There shall be no order as to costs. C.V. RAMULU,J Date 19.07.2010. usd
