THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION NO.21 of 2006 DATED: 03.01.2006 Between: S.S. Balarama Murthy, S/o. Venkata Subbaiah, Sangameswara Grameena Bank, Mahaboobnagar. ..... PETITIONER AND Sangameswara Grameena Bank, Head Office, Mahaboobnagar, represented by its Chairman. .....RESPONDENT ORDER: The petitioner is working as Branch Manager in the Sangameswara Grameena Bank, Mahaboobnagar branch. He challenges the staff circular, dated 22.11.2005, through which the respondent has empanelled the petitioner and 15 others for attending the written test in the context of promotion, to the post of Middle Management Grade Scale-II (MMG Scale-II). The petitioner states that the respondent is violating the procedure prescribed for promotion to the post of MMG Scale-II and though he was qualified in the selection held in 1991, it did not extend the benefit of promotion and is proceeding with the process of selection. The petitioner asserts that he is the senior most among the Branch Managers and the effort of the respondent is only to disqualify him. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Standing Counsel for the respondent. It is not in dispute that with the same complaint, as the one made through the present writ petition, the petitioner filed W.P.No. 695 of 2005 and the same is pending. While rejecting the application for stay filed therein, this Court made an observation on 27.01.2005 to the effect that any promotions made to the post of MMG Scale-II shall be subject to the result of that writ petition. The selections that were contemplated in January 2004 are being held now. The petitioner is not able to point out any change of circumstances that warranted him to file the present writ petition. Therefore, the writ petition is dismissed. It is, however, made clear that the selections, which took place in pursuance of the impugned staff circular dated 22.11.2005, shall be subject to the outcome of W.P.NO. 695 of 2005. There shall be no order as to costs. ___________ 03.01.2006 sh
