ORDER:

With the consent of both parties, this Writ Petition is disposed of at the admission stage itself.

2. Heard Mr. Siva Radha Krishna Venkateswara Sarma Ganga, learned counsel for the petitioner, and learned Government Pleader for Services-I, appearing for the respondents. Perused the material on record.

3. Brief facts of the case are that the petitioner belongs to the Scheduled Caste (SC) community and is fully eligible and qualified for appointment to the post of Secondary Grade Teacher (SGT). The petitioner participated in the DSC 2008 recruitment, secured 48.00 marks with rank 2805, and was placed at Sl.No.67 in the provisional selection list of 161 candidates in Rangareddy District. The petitioner could not attend the second counselling held on 25.11.2010 due to his mother’s surgery and therefore he did not receive posting orders and subsequently, the petitioner submitted a representation dated 28.12.2010 to respondent No.4 requesting posting orders. The representation was referred to respondent No.2, who rejected the request citing Rule 11(b) of the State and Subordinate Service Rules, despite no formal offer of appointment having been issued. Aggrieved, the petitioner filed O.A.No.6673 of 2011 before the Andhra Pradesh Administrative Tribunal, which was allowed by order dated 28.02.2012 directing the respondents to issue appointment orders. The respondents challenged this order by before the Division Bench of this Court. The Division Bench vide common order dated 14.03.2023 in W.P.No.28826 of 2012 and in W.P.No.22390 of 2013 dismissed both the petitions, and held that Tribunal was justified in passing such order. Despite the dismissal of the Writ Petitions, the appointment orders were not issued. The petitioner made further representations dated 26.06.2023 and 20.08.2023 requesting issuance of appointment orders. In response, respondent No.2 issued proceedings Rc.No.101/Rc-1/2023 dated 27.01.2024, seeking further instructions from the Government. However, no further action has been taken, leading to the filing of the present Writ Petition.

4. Learned counsel for the petitioner brought to the notice of this Court the Proceedings Rc.No.101/Rc-1/2023, dated 27.01.2024, issued by respondent No.2, and the relevant portion of the said proceedings is extracted hereunder:

“In view of the above, I kindly request the Government to issue necessary orders in view of the Hon’ble Division Bench of the High Court orders in W.P.No.28826 of 2012 & 22390 of 2013 filed by Government against the APAT orders Dated: 28.02.2012 in O.A.No.6673 of 2011 for taking further necessary action in the matter.”

Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that appropriate orders be passed in this Writ Petition by directing the respondents to consider the claim of the petitioner and pass appropriate orders in accordance with law.

5. Learned Government Pleader for Services-I submits that the respondents would consider the petitioner’s representation dated 26.06.2023 in accordance with the proceedings Rc.No.101/Rc-1/2023 dated 27.01.2024 and pass appropriate orders.

6. Taking into consideration the submissions made by the learned counsel for the respective parties, without going into the merits of the case, this Writ Petition is disposed of directing the respondent authorities to consider the petitioner’s representation dated 26.06.2023 in accordance with the Proceedings Rc.No.101/Rc-1/2023 dated 27.01.2024 and pass appropriate orders in accordance with law as expeditiously as possible, preferably within a period of six (6) weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. There shall be no order as to costs.

As a sequel, miscellaneous applications pending, if any, in this Writ Petition, shall stand closed.
