THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.RAMULU W.P.No.22506 of 1998 ORAL ORDER: This writ petition is filed seeking a Mandamus directing the respondents to consider the case of the petitioners for absorption as Conductor/Checker under displaced quota consequent to the nationalization of routes in Srikakulam district and consequently declare the inaction of the respondents in issuing appointment orders to the petitioners as arbitrary and illegal. The claim of the petitioner is that though they worked as Cleaners in the respective buses, which were displaced due to nationalization of routes on which they were plying, their cases were not considered for absorption as per the scheme evolved by the Respondent-Corporation. A detailed counter affidavit has been filed by the respondents asserting that the names of the petitioners were not sponsored by the owners of the vehicles and the required number of candidates were already absorbed. Moreover, the Respondent-Corporation withdrew the circular framing scheme for absorption of displaced employees and now there is a total ban on such recruitment. Further, the claim of the petitioners is that nationalization of routes had taken place in the year 1987 and the writ petition has come up for consideration in the year 2007. Therefore, the cause in the writ petition does not survive for adjudication. For all the above reasons, the writ petition is dismissed as having become infructuous. No order as to costs. _____________ C.V.RAMULU, J Date: 13.6.2007 DA THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.RAMULU W.P.No.22506 of 1998 13.6.2007 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE OF ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.
