THE HON’BLE MR JUSTICE L. NARASIMHA REDDY Writ Petition No.26222 of 2009 ORDER: The petitioner was appointed as Assistant Government Pleader for the Courts of Senior and Junior Civil Judge, Kadiri, and his term expired on 01.06.2009. Steps were initiated for appointment of his incumbent. By following the procedure prescribed under G.O.Ms.No.187, dated 06.12.2000, the District Collector, Ananthapur, the 1st respondent, forwarded a panel to the concerned authorities. The grievance of the petitioner is that his name was not included in the panel. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned Government Pleader for respondents. The petitioner places reliance upon a communication, dated 18.07.2009, that was sent by the Secretary to Government, Legal Affairs, to the District Collector. It was mentioned that the term of the petitioner expired and that a panel of five names be forwarded for necessary steps. As required under G.O.Ms.No.187, it was also indicated that names of the Advocates from reserved categories, such as O.C., B.C., S.C., S.T. etc., be considered. The petitioner contends that he is the only S.T. candidate functioning in the Court and that his name ought to have been included in the panel. The contention of the petitioner cannot be accepted. The G.O., as it is, does not provide for any reservation, in the matter of appointment of Law Officers. However, as a matter of policy, the Government ensures that the maximum extent candidates belonging to different categories, are accommodated. Here again, the District, as a unit, will be taken into account and reservations in their strict sense cannot be implemented. At any rate, the petitioner has already been appointed for a term and for a category from which only one candidate is available. The appointment for one term is more than a fair treatment. The panel is prepared depending upon the satisfaction of the concerned authorities and no individual would have any right to be included in the panel. The Writ Petition is dismissed. There shall be no order as costs. _____________________ L. NARASIMHA REDDY, J. Dt.23.02.2010. GJ
