HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE GHULAM MOHAMMED AND HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.RAMULU Writ Petition No.25927 of 2006 ORDER: (Per Hon’ble Sri Justice C.V.Ramulu) This writ petition is directed against an order made in O.A.No.4626 of 1996 dated 05-12-2003 on the ﬁle of Andhra Pradesh Administrative Tribunal, Hyderabad, whereunder the claim of the petitioners for considering their cases for appointment to the post of Mandal Parishad Development Oﬃcer from the cadre of Senior Inspector of Cooperative Societies, was rejected on the ground that the post of Senior Inspector of the Cooperative Societies, is not in the feeder category. 2. Learned counsel for the petitioners stated that the Tribunal erred in not taking into consideration the conversion of the post of Senior Inspector (Cooperation) to that of Extension Oﬃcer (Cooperation), which is one of the feeder posts, for the purpose of considering their case for appointment to the post of Mandal Parishad Development Officer. It appears, there was an amendment by way of G.O.Ms.No.394 dated 30-12-2004 deleting cadre of Senior Inspector (Cooperation) from the feeder post for the purpose of consideration of appointment to the post of Mandal Parishad Development Oﬃcer. However, this fact seems to have not properly appreciated and missed the attention of the Tribunal. 3. In the circumstances, we of the opinion that the Tribunal erred in rejecting the case of petitioners and the order passed by the Tribunal in O.A. is set aside. The ﬁrst and second respondents are directed to re-consider the case of petitioners for being appointed as Mandal Parishad Development Oﬃcer, as per law prevailing in the year 1996 and pass appropriate orders, within a period of two months from the date of receipt of this order and communicate the same to the petitioners. 4. The writ petition is accordingly allowed. No order as to costs. ___________________________ GHULAM MOHAMMED, J. ___________________ C.V.RAMULU, J. 29-07-2008 bsc IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE, ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD (Special Original Jurisdiction) TUESDAY, THE TWENTY NINETH DAY OF JULY TWO THOUSAND AND EIGHT PRESENT THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE GHULAM MOHAMMED and THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE C.V.RAMULU WRIT PETITION NO : 25927 of 2006 Between: 1 K.N.
