THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE GOPALA KRISHNA TAMADA WRIT PETITION No.3157 of 2010 DATE:16.02.2010 Between: Md. Shamshouddin ... Petitioner and The Government of Andhra Pradesh, rep. by its Special Chief Secretary, Energy Department, Secretariat, Hyderabad and others ... Respondents THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE GOPALA KRISHNA TAMADA WRIT PETITION No.3157 of 2010 ORDER: According to the petitioner, in pursuance of the notifications dated 08.06.2006 and 20.10.2006 issued by the 1st respondent inviting applications for the post of Junior Lineman on contract basis, he submitted an application and thereafter he has attended pole climbing test held on 2nd to 6th of June, 2007. But, he was not qualified in the said test, due to injuries on account of his previous employment as Shift Operator at 33/11 K.V. Kethapally Sub Station, Nalgonda division, and thereby he was denied of being appointed as Junior Lineman. Challenging the conditions of the notifications, some of the unsuccessful candidates filed a batch of writ petitions and this Court disposed of the writ petitions by restricting the appointments made in pursuance of the notification dated 08.06.2006 and the notifications issued from 20.10.2006 to 30.06.2008. As against the same, the authorities filed writ appeals in W.A.No.1434 of 2008 and batch and they were disposed of by a common order dated 10.11.2009 since the authorities made a proposal for appointment of the respondents therein. Now, as he is totally recovered and in a position to attend the pole climbing test, he gave a representation to the respondents on 23.11.2009 seeking permission to attend the pole climbing test afresh, without reference to the pole climbing test held earlier and give an opportunity for selection and appointment in the existing/arising vacancies in pursuance of the notifications dated 08.06.2006 and 20.10.2006, before issuing a fresh notification. But so far the respondents have not passed any orders on his representation. Being aggrieved by the same, he approached this Court and filed the present writ petition. 2. The learned counsel for the petitioner has submitted that though this Court, by an order dated 10.11.2009, disposed of W.A.No.1434 of 2008 and batch, basing on the proposal made by the authorities of A.P.Transco to appoint the respondents therein, the respondent have not passed orders so far on the representation of the petitioner. He further submitted that on previous occasions, the respondents extended second opportunity to certain candidates by issuing B.P.Ms.No.36 dated 18.05.1997. 3. On the contrary, the learned standing counsel for A.P. Transco has contended that since the entire selection process was over, question of conducting pole climbing test and appointing anybody as Junior Lineman on contract basis does not arise. 4. May be it is true that the pole climbing test was over and there may not be any vacancies. However, having considered the submissions made by the learned counsel for the petitioner, the respondents are hereby directed to consider the representation of the petitioner dated 23.11.2009 and pass necessary orders thereon within a period of four (4) weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. 5. Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of. There shall be no order as to costs. __________________________________ GOPALA KRISHNA TAMADA, J 16th February, 2010 CBS THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE GOPALA KRISHNA TAMADA WRIT PETITION No.3157 of 2010 (Disposed of) 16th February, 2010 CBS
