THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE V.ESWARAIAH & THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE R.SUBHASH REDDY & THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE VILAS V.AFZULPURKAR WRIT PETITION No.26155 of 2000 and 8708 of 2001 COMMON ORDER: (per Hon’ble Sri Justice R.Subhash Reddy) Since similar questions arise for consideration in these writ petitions, the same are taken up together for disposal by way of common order. In W.P.No.26155 of 2000, the petitioner seeks a direction to respondents 3 and 5 herein to select the petitioner as Lecturer in History in Oriental Urdu (Evening) College, Himayatnagar, Hyderabad. In W.P.No.8708 of 2001, the petitioner questions the notification issued by the 3rd respondent College, dated 06-12-2000, inviting applications for the post of Lecturer in History (Urdu). It is the contention of the learned counsel for the petitioners that the employment exchange identified Hafiz Mohd. Mastan (petitioner in WP.No.8708 of 2001) and Qazi Mohd. Naseem Ahmed (petitioner in W.P.No.26155 of 2000) as suitable and qualified candidates for posts of Lecturers and they were appeared for the interview on 06-04-2000 and the selection was conducted by the Selection Committee and they were stood first, but the selection committee did not give any result. However, the Management issued fresh notification, dated 06-12- 2000. On the other hand, the learned Government Pleader appearing for R-1 and R-2 submits that the proposal of the College for selection of the candidates was rejected vide proceedings dated 09-11-2000, as there was no Government representative in Selection committee and as no rule of reservation was followed. A perusal of the record goes to show that the Selection Committee conducted interview for appointment of lecturers and the list of the selected candidates was sent to the competent authority for approval. The competent authority having noticed that there was no Government representative in the Selection Committee and no rule of reservation was followed by the Management, rejected the proposal of the College. Inasmuch as the petitioners are only applicants and merely attending the interview does not confer any rights on the petitioners for appointment. When Management has not followed the instructions issued by the Government in constitution of selection committee and violated the Rule of Reservation, it is always open to the competent authority to reject the proposals submitted by the Colleges. In that view of the matter, there cannot be any direction for appointment of the petitioners as Lecturers and at the same time, we do not find any illegality on the part of the Management in issuing fresh notification to fill up the vacancies. For the foregoing reasons, we do not find any merits in the writ petitions and the same are liable to be dismissed. Accordingly, the writ petitions are dismissed. There shall be no order as to costs. _______________ V.ESWARAIAH,J ____________________ R.SUBHASH REDDY, J _______________________ VILAS V.AFZULPURKAR, J Date: 13-10-2009 Prv
