JUSTICE G.YETHIRAJULU WRIT PETITION NO.15691 OF 2004 ORDER: The petitioner contends that he is working as a Secondary Grade Teacher (SGT) in the 4th respondent institution since 22-12-1983. He claims that he acquired qualifications for appointment as a School Assistant in Social Studies. When there was a vacancy of School Assistant in Social Sciences, the management of the 4th respondent proposed the name of the petitioner for consideration through its recommendation dated 25-2-2003 to the third respondent. But the second respondent did not approve the said recommendation made by the 4th respondent on the ground that the petitioner did not possess the requisite qualification to hold the post of School Assistant (Social Sciences). 2 . The petitioner therefore, approached this Court contending that he possessed the requisite qualifications and he further contends that though he is a B.Com graduate, he did his B.Ed., in Social Sciences. The order of the second respondent dated 17-05-2004 did not refer to G.O.Ms.No.71. The petitioner is not only claiming that the B.Ed., in Social Sciences is sufficient to hold the post, but also contending that he is pursuing his B.A., degree in Social Sciences from Ambedkar Open University, Hyderabad. 3. In the light of the above circumstances, the petitioner is directed to make a fresh representation to the 4th respondent, and the 4th respondent shall inturn forward it to the third respondent and after forwarding of the same, the second respondent shall consider the said representation in the light of G.O.Ms.No.71 dated 07-06-2003 and pass appropriate orders according to the existing Rules and the G.Os. in force, within one month from the date of receipt of the file from the third respondent. 4.
