THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No. 26279 of 2011 ORDER: The Andhra Pradesh Northern Power Distribution Company Limited, respondent No.1 herein, issued a notification, dated 06.06.2006, inviting applications for selection of candidates for the post of Junior Lineman on contract basis. The age, qualification and other particulars were mentioned in the notification. However, a revised notification was issued on 21.10.2006 with slight modification. The petitioner contends that though he did not hold stipulated qualification as on 06.06.2006, he acquired qualification shortly thereafter and by the time revised notification, dated 21.10.2006, was issued, he became eligible. His grievance is that the respondents are not considering his case on the ground that he is ineligible. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Standing Counsel for the respondents. The notification, dated 06.06.2006, stipulated all the conditions such as, age, educational qualification, remuneration and rule of reservation. The revised notification, dated 21.10.2006, did not alter those parameters. On the other hand, it reiterated those conditions. For example, while referring to the age, the subsequent notification directed that a candidate must not be below 18 years and not above 30 years “as on the date of earlier notification i.e. 06.06.2006”. This only indicates that the bench mark or the cut-off date is 06.06.2006 and any candidate was not qualified as on that date cannot be treated as eligible. Hence, no exception can be taken to the action of the respondents. Hence, the writ petition is dismissed. There shall be no order as to costs. _______________________ L.NARASIMHA REDDY,J Dt:20.09.2011. kdl
