THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION N0.21518 of 2011 ORDER: The Government of Andhra Pradesh issued G.O.Ms.No.45, dated 28.06.2011 framing special rules for the A.P. Tribal Welfare Subordinate Services. Hostel Welfare Officer Grade-II occurs in the category of Class-E. 80% of those posts are to be filled by direct recruitment, 10% from Tribal Welfare Teachers and 10% from Class-IV employees of A.P. Last Grade Services having graduation and working in the Tribal Welfare Department. The petitioner contends that initially he was appointed as Secondary Grade Teacher in the Tribal Welfare School on 01.07.1993 and worked as Hostel Welfare Officer Grade-II at Rampachodavaram from 2008 till the concerned order was cancelled in 08.09.2010. It is stated that he is now working as Secondary Grade Teacher in Ashram School at Kakavada, East Godavari District. On coming to know that the Government framed special rules through G.O.Ms.No.45, the petitioner made a representation dated 01.07.2011 to the Project Officer, I.T.D.A., 3rd respondent herein with a request to consider his case for appointment a Hostel Welfare Officer Grade-II on regular basis. His grievance is that no steps were taken thereon. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader for Tribal Welfare. The mere framing of Rules by itself does not confer any right upon an individual to seek appointment or promotion. Much would depend upon the existence of vacancies and the decision taken by the respondents to fill the same. In case, the petitioner had fulfilled the qualifications for being appointed/promoted as Hostel Welfare Officer Grade-II, his case can certainly be considered, as and when the steps are initiated for that purpose. Hence, the writ petition is disposed of directing the respondents to take the representation, dated 01.07.2011 submitted by the petitioner into account, as and when steps are initiated for filling the posts of Hostel Welfare Officer Grade –II as per the Rules published through G.O.Ms.No.45, dated 28.06.2011. There shall be no order as to costs. __________ 01.08.2011 JSU THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION N0. 21518 of 2011 Date: 01.08.2011 JSU
