HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE K.C.BHANU WRIT PETITION No.21163 of 2011 ORDER: In not considering the petitioner for the post of Principal for Sri Durga Malleswara Siddartha Mahila Kalasala Junior College (Aided), Venkateswara Puram, Vijayawada, by taking into seniority, the present writ petition is filed. 2. The case of the petitioner is that she is working as a lecturer in Telugu at the above said college and she is eligible for the post of Principal on the basis of seniority list. The 4th respondent conducted Departmental Promotion Committee (for brevity ‘DPC’) meeting and deferred the meeting without considering the name of the petitioner on the simple ground that her Service Register is not available in the college. Challenging the action of the 4th respondent, the petitioner approached the AP Administrative Tribunal, Hyderabnad, and filed O.A.No.2599 of 2011. The Tribunal dismissed the said O.A. giving liberty to the petitioner to work out her legal rights. Then she approached this Court and filed the present writ petition. 3. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader for Higher Education appearing for the respondents 1 to 3. 4. The grievance of the petitioner is that though the DPC Meeting was conducted for the purpose of considering the post of promotion, her name has not been considered for the reason that Service Register of the petitioner was not available. Therefore, the meeting was deferred. Immediately, the petitioner gave a representation dated 09-02-2011 to the 4th respondent stating that the Service Register is available in the college itself. Therefore, appropriate decision has to be taken by the D.P.C. 5. In pursuance of the said representation, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the writ petition directing the 4th respondent to place the matter before the DPC for the purpose of selecting the candidate for the post of Principal, in accordance with law. Such exercise shall be completed within a period of four weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. No costs. ___________________ JUSTICE K.C.BHANU 28th July 2011 Note: Issue C.C. in two days. B/o. KVR
