THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE D.S.R.VARMA Writ Petition No.23114 of 1996 Dated: 05th July, 2006 Between: V.V.Ramana Reddy, … Petitioner and 1. The Government of Andhra Pradesh, rep. by its Secretary, Education Department, Secretariat, Hyderabad and three others … Respondents THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE D.S.R.VARMA Writ Petition No.23114 of 1996 Oral Order: Heard. 2. The grievance of the petitioner is that respondent Nos.1 and 2 were not filling up the existing aided vacancies of lecturers in the Department of political science, in the 3rd respondent college. The said action, according to the petitioner, is arbitrary and violative of the Fundamental Rights guaranteed under Articles 14 and 21 of the Constitution of India. 3. It is settled law that the employer has a right whether to fill up the vacancies or not depending on the contingencies. Further, the Employer cannot be compelled to fill up the vacancies. 4. However, the learned Counsel appearing for the petitioner submits that, subsequently, the petitioner was absorbed already in an aided vacancy, in the year 1997, in which event nothing remains for adjudication in this writ petition insofar as the petitioner is concerned. 5. It further appears that some other writ petition has also been filed questioning the said appointment of the petitioner in the present writ petition. These facts are not relevant for the purpose of deciding the present writ petition. 6. Accordingly, this Writ Petition is closed, as having become infructuous. However, there shall be no order as to costs. 7. It is needless to state that the order of interim direction, dated 31-10-1996, in W.P.M.P.No.28501 of 1996, granted by this Court shall automatically stand vacated and the interim applications, if any, pending, shall stand closed. _____________ D.S.R.VARMA, J 05th July, 2006.
