ORDER :
Namavarapu Rajeshwar Rao, J.
This Writ Petition is filed seeking the following relief:
“...to declare the action of the respondents in rejecting petitioner's case for being appointed as LDC as illegal and arbitrary and set-a-side the letter No.CGM(HRD)/GM(IR&L)/AS-(L)/PO-H-3/WP No. 3544/2005-08 dt.18.02.2008 issued by the 2nd respondent. Consequently, direct the respondents to appoint the petitioner as LDC duly granting all other consequential benefits on part with his colleagues who were selected and appointed in terms of Notification, dated 24.04.2001.”
2. Heard Sri K. Vasudeva Reddy, learned counsel for the petitioner and Sri A. Chandra Shaker, learned Standing Counsel for Northern Power Distribution Company Ltd., Telangana, appearing for the respondents. Perused the material available on record.
3. The brief facts of the case are as follows:
(a) The petitioner w
Court affirmed the principle that lapses in record-keeping by contractors cannot negate the validity of verified service certificates for contract labor entitled to regularization.
A valid service certificate countersigned by officials cannot be disregarded due to the contractor's failure to maintain records; the authority must substantiate rejection based on genuine evidence.
The absence of genuine employment records and a valid service certificate undermines a petitioner's claim for appointment based on recruitment rules.
The court upheld the rejection of the petitioner's application for appointment as LDC due to lack of genuine service certificates, emphasizing the need for substantiated documentation in such claims.
