HON’BLE SHRI JUSTICE NOOTY RAMAMOHANA RAO W.P. No.16360 of 1998 19th July, 2007 Between M.A.Azeez Khan and others ..Petitioners AND Member Secretary, A.P.S.E.B., Hyderabad and others ..Respondents :: JUDGMENT :: HON’BLE SHRI JUSTICE NOOTY RAMAMOHANA RAO W.P. No.16360 of 1998 None appears for the writ petitioners. The learned Standing Counsel for the A.P.S.E.B. has reported that 1042 candidates have been subjected to the selection process for regularization in terms of the Scheme evolved through B.P.Ms.No.36 dated 18.5.1997. To select the best and most suitable amongst the ex-casual labour, the selection process has been devised comprising the following tests: a) Reading and writing; b) Physical appearance; c) i) Cycling ii) Climbing of Boiler up to drum level by stair case and come back. d) Identification of T & P like cutting plairs, Screw drivers, different hammers, different spanners, wrenches, earth rods etc., and their usage. e) To read instruments like pressure gauges, thermometers, energy meters etc., f) Opening and closing values, identification of their position with respect to opening and closing. Only these candidates who have passed all O&M tests will be treated as qualified. The respondents have also verified the educational and technical qualifications possessed by the candidates. The candidates are required to pass 10th Class (S.S.C. examination) or its equivalent examination and they are also required to possess Certificate in Industrial Training Institute (Electrical Trade) or a pass in Intermediate (Vocational Course in Electrical Trade). Out of 50 writ petitioners, 29 did not participate in the selection process at all and therefore, they cannot make any grievance out of their non-selection or failure to regularize their services. Of the remaining 21, the writ petitioner No.48 – G.Sravan Kumar S/o Yadaiah has been selected and appointed and is presently working as a Junior Line Man with the respondents. Similarly, writ petitioner No.47 – Khaza Salauddin, S/o Nazeeruddin is qualified, but however, due to certain difficulties in recognizing him as a contract labour which is essentially required for regularization of his services, he has not yet been regularized. He had instituted yet another Writ Petition No.11515 of 2007 which is still pending. Depending upon the result therein, his fate will be determined as to his selection/ regularisation. Insofar as the other petitioners who appeared for the selections are concerned, the following candidates did not possess the necessary general educational qualifications and technical qualifications: Writ Petitioner Nos.2, 15, 16, 17, 18, 22, 24, 25, 33, 37, 39 and 46. The following petitioners have also failed to clear one of the tests viz., Poll Climbing test to demonstrate their suitability and usefulness for employment with the respondent organization: Writ petitioner Nos. 22, 23, 24, 30, 33, 39 and 44. In view of these statements and there being no material on record to contradict the same, I consider that the writ petition deserves to be dismissed except for writ petitioner Nos.48 and 47 with regard to whom, it has been recorded that they were qualified and appointed/yet to be appointed. With this, the writ petition stands dismissed, but however, without costs. _________________________________ NOOTY RAMA MOHANA RAO.J. 19.7.2007 psr
