THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE K.C.BHANU WRIT PETITION No. 17154 OF 2010 ORDER: 1. Heard both sides. 2. Lands of the petitioners were acquired by the Government for the purpose of Somasila Project and awards were passed by the Land Acquisition Officer. It is their grievance that their cases for appointment in any suitable post reserved for displaced persons under G.O. No.98, Irrigation (Proj. Wing) Department, dated 15.4.1996 were not considered on the ground that they were minors as on the date of passing of the awards. 3. The petitioners were said to be minors as on the date of passing of the award. Because minors cannot be appointed in any post, right to be considered for the post accrues to them only after attaining majority. Now that, the petitioners attained majority. So, if they are otherwise qualified and eligible, they can be appointed in terms of G.O. 98, Irrigation (Proj. Wing) Department, dated 15.4.1996 read with G.O. No.44, Irrigation & CAD (Projects Wing: SRSP.I) Department, dated 31.3.1999. Therefore, the respondents are directed to consider the case of the petitioners in accordance with rules and the Government Orders. 4. With the above direction, the Writ Petition is disposed of. No costs. --------------------- (K.C.Bhanu, J.) 09.06.2011 DRK THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE K.C.BHANU WRIT PETITION No. 17154 OF 2010 09.06.2011 THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE K.C.BHANU WRIT PETITION No. 17154 OF 2010 09.06.2011 Between: M.Venkata Ramana Reddy & another …Petitioner And Govt. of Andhra Pradesh & others …Respondents
