THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION NO. 26300 OF 2005 Dated 9th December 2005 Between: Kota Jashwanth …Petitioner And The Administrative Officer, Directorate of Rice Research, Rajendranagar, Hyderabad, R.R.District. …Respondent THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION NO. 26300 OF 2005 O R D E R: The petitioner states that he has been registered with the District Employment Exchange, Ranga Reddy District. The respondent is said to have sent a requisition letter, dated 13.10.2005, to the District Employment Exchange, Ranga Reddy District, to sponsor the candidates for the post of “Lower Division Clerk”. It is alleged that the interview are scheduled to take place on 20.12.2005, or any other subsequent notified date. The grievance of the petitioner is that since his case is not being sponsored by the District Employment Exchange, the first respondent has not considered his candidature, and not receiving his application for the said post. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner, and learned Government Pleader for Social Welfare. Though sponsoring of candidates, through Employment Exchange, is treated as one of the known sources of candidates for consideration for employment, in Government service and Public Sector undertakings, there does not exist any prohibition for them, in considering the case of eligible candidates, even if not sponsored by the Employment Exchange. There are several judgments of the Supreme Court and this Court, on this aspect. Having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case, the writ petition is disposed of, directing the respondent to consider the candidature of the petitioner, without insisting on sponsoring by the Employment Exchange. There shall be no order as to costs. ____________________ 9th December 2005 Note: Issue C.C. in three days. (B/o) PAN
