THE HON’BLE MR JUSTICE L. NARASIMHA REDDY Writ Petition No.4027 of 2011 ORDER: The petitioners worked on outsourcing basis, at various points of time, in the workshops of the APSRTC. Seeking the relief of regularisation of their services, the petitioners approached this Court by filing W.P.Nos.3183 of 1994 and 3115 of 1997. The writ petitions were disposed of, directing that the respondents shall consider the cases of the petitioners and other similarly situated candidates, as and when vacancies arise. In compliance with the same, the 2nd respondent issued proceedings, dated 24.05.1997, stating that there were no vacancies at the relevant point of time and the cases of the petitioners would be considered, as and when vacancies arise. The petitioners contend that in the recent past, the Corporation issued notification inviting applications for those very posts and that their cases for absorption were not being considered. The respondents filed counter-affidavit, opposing the writ petition. It is stated that the petitioners do not fulfil the qualifications that are stipulated in the notifications issued in the recent past. Heard learned counsel for the petitioners and learned standing counsel for the respondents. It is not a case where the petitioners have been subjected to selection process on an earlier occasion. They were appointed purely o n ad hoc basis, that too, through the process of outsourcing. A direction, no doubt, was issued to consider the cases of the petitioners. However, there did not exist any vacancies in the year 1997. An assurance was given to the petitioners that their cases would be considered, as and when vacancies arise. Recently a notification was issued proposing to fill the vacancies. The petitioners did not fulfil the conditions stipulated therein. No right can be said to have accrued to the petitioners to such an extent that they be considered for appointment, though they do not fulfil the stipulated criteria. Hence, the writ petition is dismissed. There shall be no order as to costs. _______________________ L.NARASIMHA REDDY, J Dt:05.09.2011 GJ
