THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE NOOTY RAMAMOHANA RAO W.P.No.7515 of 2011 ORDER: This writ petition has been filed seeking a direction in the nature of writ of mandamus for declaring the action of the respondents in contemplating the selection process by way of written test and trade test to the land oustees contrary to the earlier policy decision as bad in law. Learned counsel appearing on either side submit that when a similar issue has cropped up for consideration, a detailed order has been passed by me on 01.02.2011 in W.P.No.1712 of 2011 wherein it has been noticed that question of conducting a written test or a trade test would not arise while taking up the cases of land loosers/land oustees for the purpose of recruitment against the 50% of the vacancies reserved to be filled in by such candidates. However, it was made clear that the respondents/organisation can press its claim for consideration by the Selection Committee headed by the District Collector, to keep the requisite qualifications necessary to be possessed by personnel to be recruited against technical posts. While finalising selections, it would be appropriate to notice the following that has been spelt out in the aforementioned judgment: Thereafter, the State Government has also announced yet another policy decision through their G.O.Ms.No. 266, Irrigation and Command Area Development (Projects Wing) Department, dated 19.09.1994, constituting selection committees, to be in conformity with Section 4 of Act 2 of 1994. The District Collector concerned will be the Chairman of the Committee which also comprises the Joint Collector of the District and the Chief Engineering of the concerned project as the other members. Thus, to consider the claims of those persons, who are seeking recruitment against 50% of the vacancies set apart to be filled in by the land losers family members, an appropriate selection committee headed by the District Collector concerned is constituted and based upon the recommendations of the said selection committee, the respective appointing authorities would be finalizing the selections. Therefore, except subjecting the family members of the land losers to the selection process headed by the selection committee constituted through the subsequent G.O.Ms.No. 266, dated 19.09.1994, the family members of the land losers will not be subjected to any other selection process which can comprise written test or a trade test even. To that extent, the grievance nurtured by the writ petitioners can be said to be imaginary. Sri C. Raghu, learned Standing Counsel for the 1st respondent Corporation has made it clear that the respondent Corporation is in no way deviating from the policy decision announced by the State Government referred to supra, when it comes to the question of filling up the 50% of the vacancies notified for the posts of Junior Plant Attendants. Since the respondent Corporation agreed to abide by the policy decision taken by the State Government, as a rehabilitation mechanism of the land losers, suffice it, for the present, to direct the respondents to subject the cases of such of those applicants, who claimed recruitment against 50% land losers quota, to be examined by the appropriate selection committee of the district concerned and based upon the recommendations of the said selection committee, the follow up action of finalization of the selections be undertaken by the respondent Corporation, duly following and observing the other suitability conditions, such as possessing appropriate technical qualifications. It is needless to observe that the officials of the respondent Corporation are entitled to raise their objections before the selection committee concerned at the time of selecting the displaced persons for appointment. Such objections are liable to be taken into account and consideration by the said committee. It is also open to the committee to scrutinize the qualifications, which are required for being employed with the respondent Corporation. In view of the issue, which has already been considered by this Court extensively as noticed supra in the above judgment, it is only appropriate that this writ petition also stands disposed of on the same terms as were spelt out in the aforementioned judgment. No costs. NOOTY RAMAMOHANA RAO,J Dt. 29.03.2011 Note: CC within one week lvl THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE NOOTY RAMAMOHANA RAO W.P.No.7515 of 2011 Dt. 29.03.2011
