THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE L. NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No. 24171 OF 2011 Dated: 27-08-2011 Between: B. Srinivasa Rao ... PETITIONER AND The Commissioner, Endowments Department, Boggulakunta, Hyderabad and four others ... RESPONDENTS THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE L. NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No. 24171 OF 2011 ORDER: The petitioner claims to have been appointed as a Junior Assistant in Sri Venkateswara Swamy Vari Devasthanam, Vaddadi Village, Butchiyyapet Mandal, Visakhapatnam District, the 4th respondent herein. The Deputy Commissioner of Endowments, the 2nd respondent herein prepared seniority list of junior assistants for the entire district and published the same on 11-10-2010. The petitioner appeared at serial No.2 in that list. However, a provisional seniority list was issued on 06-04-2011 showing the petitioner at serial No.13. The petitioner filed a representation to the Commissioner of Endowments, the 1st respondent herein feeling aggrieved of the said provisional seniority list. His grievance is that no steps have been taken thereon. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner; the learned Government Pleader for Endowments for respondent Nos.1, 3 and 5 and the learned Standing Counsel for respondent No.4. The publication of final seniority list is to be preceded by a provisional seniority list. Objections of the affected candidates are to be invited and on a consideration of the same, the final seniority list has to be published. In the instant case, final seniority list was published on 11-10-2010 by the 2nd respondent. It is not known as to whether it is preceded by an exercise of publication of provisional seniority list and invitation of objections. It is just ununderstandable as to how and why that provisional seniority list was published on 06-04- 2011 for the same category of posts in the same district. That would be possible if only the final seniority list published on 11-10-2010 was set aside by a Court of law or was withdrawn by the competent authority. These are the aspects that can be verified by the 1st respondent. Hence, the writ petition is disposed of directing the 1st respondent to consider the representation of the petitioner dated 01- 08-2011 and pass appropriate orders thereon within a period of eight weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. There shall be no order as to costs. L. NARASIMHA REDDY, J 27-08-2011 ks
