ROHINI WRIT PETITION No.3167 of 2009 ORDER : The petitioner herein, being the successful bidder, has been selected by the District Level Out Sourcing Committee, Visakhapatnam for supply of the manpower to the A.P Vaidya Vidhana Parishad, Hyderabad. Accordingly, the 3rd respondent- District Level Out Sourcing Committee issued proceedings, dated 4.12.2008, requesting the 4th respondent–District Co-ordinator of Hospital Services, Anakapalli, Visakhapatnam District, to take necessary immediate action in the matter and to issue the work order. Pursuant thereto, though the petitioner made several representations requesting to issue the work order, there was no response. On the other hand, similarly situated agencies, who were selected for supply of the manpower to BC Welfare Department, Visakhapatnam, Government Mental Care Hospital, Visakhapatnam and Government Polytechnic College, Anakapalli were issued the work orders. In the circumstances, the present writ petition is filed seeking a declaration that the action of the 4th respondent in not issuing the work order even after lapse of two months from the date of the selection of the petitioner by the District Level Out Sourcing Committee, as arbitrary and illegal. In the counter affidavit filed on behalf of the 4th respondent, it is stated that as per the guidelines issued by the Commissioner, A.P Vaidya Vidhana Parishad, Hyderabad, the finalizing authorities are Hospital Development Societies, which are headed by the respective MLAs and since the approvals from the Hospital Development Societies have not yet been received, the work order could not be issued to the petitioner. I have heard the learned counsel for both the parities and perused the material on record. The guidelines prescribed by the Commissioner, A.P Vaidya Vidhana Parishad, Hyderabad issued for the purpose of out sourcing of services in the A.P Vaidya Vidhana Parishad institutions shows that all District Coordinators of Hospital Services have to place the list of Manpower Agencies identified by the District Collector before the Hospital Development Societies for approval. As could be seen from the counter affidavit filed by the 4th respondent, such steps have already been initiated and the approvals of the Hospital Development Societies are awaited. In the circumstances, the writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the 4th respondent to complete the process already initiated for approval of the Hospital Development Societies and to take further steps pursuant to the selection of the petitioner vide proceedings dated 4.12.2008 as expeditiously as possible, preferably within a period of six weeks from the date of receipt of this order. No costs. __________________ Justice G. Rohini Date:23.07.2009 Note. Issue CC within three days. B/O mrb
