RAMULU WRIT PETITION No.17263 OF 2007 ORDER: This writ petition is filed seeking a Mandamus declaring the action of the respondents in considering the case of the juniors to the petitioners for appointment to the post of Contract Junior Lineman and not considering the case of the petitioners, in spite of their having requisite qualifications and experience and faring well in the pole- climbing test and interview, as arbitrary and illegal. It appears, in pursuance of notification issued by the respondents, the petitioners applied for the post of contract Junior Lineman and, subsequently, they attended the pole- climbing test and interview conducted on 05.06.2007 at 132 KV sub station, Hyderabad Road, Nalgonda. According to the petitioners, they fared well in the said interview as well as the pole-climbing test and were hoping that they would be appointed. But, to their surprise, they were not issued with appointment orders and others, those who were juniors to them, were issued with appointment orders. In view of the above, without expressing any opinion on merits, the respondents are directed to declare the results of the interview and pole-climbing test conducted on 05.06.2007 at 132 KV Sub Station, Hyderabad Road, Nalgonda, within a period of four weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. Further, if the petitioners found successful in the said pole climbing test and interview and found eligible for appointment, the respondents may consider their appointment to the post of Contract Junior Lineman, in the existing or in future vacancies. With the above direction, the writ petition is disposed of. No order as to costs. ____​__________ C.V. RAMULU, J 4th October, 2007. IBL
