RAMANA Writ Petition No. 5485 of 1997 Order: This writ petition is filed seeking to direct the respondents to appoint the petitioner as Conductor/Cleaner or in any other suitable post under the retired employees’ children quota. The case of the petitioner, in brief, is that his father has completed 30 years of service in the respondent-Corporation and as per the existing circulars of the Corporation, one of the dependant of the employees, who retired from service on attaining the age of superannuation or who retired on medical grounds or who have completed 25 years of service, are entitled for appointment in the respondent- Corporation under 30% quota. As such, he made an application to the respondent- Corporation seeking appointment as Cleaner under the said quota. As there was no reply from the respondents, the petitioner filed W.P. No.5928 of 1992, and this Court vide its order dated 02.07.1992, directed the respondents to implement the circulars and consider the case of the petitioner. Pursuant to the said directions, the respondents rejected the claim of the petitioner on the ground that his brothers were already employed in the respondent-Corporation. Hence, the present writ petition. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Standing Counsel for the respondent-Corporation. The petitioner is seeking appointment under the retired employees’ children quota. In Shaik Ahmad Ali Shah v. Divl. Manager, APSRTC, a Division Bench of this Court held that hereditary appointment has no place in public employment and there is no provision for preferential treatment/discrimination in favour of sons of serving employees of Corporation. In that view of the matter, the petitioner, who is claiming employment under the retired employees quota, is not entitled to any priority or preferential treatment. The writ petition is devoid of merit and the same is accordingly dismissed. No costs. ___________________ N.V. RAMANA, J. Date: 01.02.2006 Nsr/Ksr
