THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE R.SUBHASH REDDY WRIT PETITION No.5868 of 2010 ORDER: This writ petition is filed for the following relief: “For all the reasons stated above, it is prayed that this Hon’ble Court may be pleased to issue an appropriate order or direction more particularly a writ of Mandamus declaring the action of the respondents in not allowing the petitioners to participate in the selection process for the post of Data Entry Operator on par with other candidates without reference to the medium of employment exchange as illegal, arbitrary, unjust, discriminatory, against principles of natural justice, contrary to the judgments of Hon’ble Supreme Court and violative of Articles 14, 16 and 21 of the Constitution of India and consequently direct the respondent to allow the petitioners to participate in the selection process for the post of Data Entry Operator without reference to the medium of employment Exchange and appoint them if they were selected in the selection process in the interest of justice.” When the respondents were taking steps for appointment to the posts of Data Entry Operator, the petitioners have applied for such posts but their claims have not been considered solely on the ground that their names were not sponsored by the employment exchange and therefore, they approached this Court. By order, dated 12.03.2010, this Court issued a direction to the respondents to consider the claims of the petitioners also for appointment to the posts of Data Entry Operator, without insisting on their sponsorship from the employment exchange, provided they are qualified as per the norms notified for selection to the posts of Data Entry Operator. Though it is one of the modes to send requisition to the employment exchange, merely because the names of the petitioners were not sponsored by the employment exchange that by itself is not a ground for not considering their cases. For the aforesaid reasons and in view of the direction issued by this Court earlier, the writ petition is disposed of with the direction to the respondents that if any of the petitioners are selected pursuant to the order, dated 12.03.2010 passed by this Court, they shall be continued as per the terms of their appointment. No order as to costs. ______________________ R.SUBHASH REDDY, J 23rd APRIL, 2010. kvni
