HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE K.C.BHANU WRIT PETITION No.17550 of 2011 ORDER: 1. The present writ petition is filed seeking to issue a writ of Mandamus declaring the action of the respondents in not issuing hall ticket to the petitioner to appear for the examination to be conducted by the LIC of India on 26.06.2011 for the post of Peon as illegal and arbitrary and consequently direct the respondents to permit the petitioner to appear for the examination. 2. Heard both sides. 3. The averments, in brief, in the affidavit filed in support of the writ petition may be stated as follows: The petitioner joined as Peon in first respondent corporation on 21.11.1994 and worked till 20.03.1995, and thereafter, after a short break, he again started working from 23.7.1996 and has been continuously working since then. A notification was issued on 20.1.2001 by the first respondent corporation inviting applications for the post of Peons and he is eligible as per norms laid. He applied for the said post, but hall ticket has not been issued to him to appear for the written examination to be conducted in pursuance of the said notification. 4. The learned counsel for the petitioner contends that the Supreme Court in Civil Appeal No.953-968 of 2005 between D.V.Anil Kumar Vs. LIC of India, by its judgment, dated 18.01.2011, directed the LIC of India, as a one time measure, to recruit all the eligible Class-IV employees who are working in LIC of India for more than five years as on 18.01.2011 and who had possessed minimum eligible qualification and age at the relevant time of their entry into LIC of India by holding a limited written examination which will be in vernacular language with a limited syllabus to be announced in advance, and that, in pursuance of the directions of the Supreme Court, the LIC of India issued notification, dated 20.01.2011, calling for the applications from the eligible employees, duly incorporating the directions of the Supreme Court as conditions for forwarding the applications. The grievance of the petitioner is that hall-ticket has not been issued to him to appear for the written examination to be held on 26.06.2011. 5. If the petitioner had made an application for the said post and if he is duly eligible as per the criterion laid in the Notification and as per the guidelines laid down by the Hon’ble Supreme Court of India in the aforesaid judgment, he shall be issued hall ticket to appear for the examination to be held on 26.06.2011 conducted by the LIC of India for the post of Peons. 6. With the above directions, the writ petition is disposed of. There shall be no order as to costs. ____________________ JUSTICE K.C.BHANU 24th June 2011 Note: Issue operative portion by wire at party’s costs. B/o kdl.
