THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V. RAMULU Wednesday, 5th day of September,2007 W.P.No.27301 of 2006 Between:- Shaik Abdul Khayyum … Petitioner and The Government of Andhra Pradesh, rep. by its Secretary, General Administration Department, Secretariat, Hyderabad and others … Respondents THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V. RAMULU W.P.No.27301 of 2006 ORAL ORDER: This Writ Petition is filed seeking a Mandamus to declare the action of the respondents in not appointing the petitioner in any suitable post as arbitrary, illegal and violative of Articles 14 and 21 of the Constitution of India; consequently, to direct the respondents to appoint the petitioner in any suitable post and extend the benefits on par with his immediate junior and also direct the respondents to pay compensation from the year 2001. It appears, petitioner applied for the post of Attender in pursuance of a notification issued by the 4th respondent. However, his case was rejected on the ground that he is a visually handicapped person. Though a counter is filed by the 1st respondent denying the allegations made by the petitioner, there is no necessity of going into all the details. In view of the interim orders passed by this Court on 22- 2-2007 and 9-7-2007, the Joint Collector and Chairman, District Selection Committee, Prakasam District, Ongole seems to have considered the case of the petitioner and appointed him as Attender and allotted him to the unit of Superintending Engineer, Construction Circle, Irrigation and Command Area Development Department, Ongole by Proceedings dated 20-8-2007. In view of the above, nothing survives for further adjudication in the Writ Petition. The Writ Petition is, therefore, closed. No costs. 05-9-2007 prk
