THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE GODA RAGHURAM W.P.No. 12433 of 1998 06-06-2007 Between: R.S.V. Badrinath Petitioner And Government of Andhra Pradesh rep., by its Principal Secretary, Revenue Department, Secretariat, Hyderabad and others. Respondents. THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE GODA RAGHURAM W.P.No. 12433 of 1998 Oral Order: By the order dated 05-09-2001 of this Court, the writ petition has been dismissed for ‘default’ as against respondent Nos. 4 to 16, as the petitioner failed to serve notice of the writ petition on these respondents. The petitioner seeks a declaration that the conduct of the respondent Nos. 1 to 3 in bringing the respondent Nos.4 to 16 on deputation basis to work as Deputy Managers/District Managers into the Corporation is illegal and arbitrary and seeks consequential relief to promote him as a Deputy Manager/District Manager with effect from the date of vacancy with all consequential benefits. The vacancies in the post of Deputy Managers/District Managers are stated to have arisen. However instead of filling up the vacancies by considering inhouse candidates, including the petitioner who is working as an Assistant Manager (Operations) with an engineering qualification, it is alleged the respondents have resorted to the devise of bringing in employees from other departments including Excise Department on deputation basis. As the writ petition has already been dismissed for ‘default’ as against respondent Nos. 4 to 16, no relief as sought could be granted to the petitioner. The writ petition is accordingly dismissed. No costs. ____________________ GODA RAGHURAM, J Dated: 06-06-2007
