The Court made the following ORDER:

1. This Writ Petition is filed under Article 226 of the Constitution of India seeking the following relief: “to issue a Writ, order or direction more particularly one in the nature of Writ of Mandamus by declaring the action of the respondents herein in not considering the petitioners claim for employment in any suitable posts under displaced quota as per the guidelines issued under G.O.Ms.No.98 Irrigation, (PROJ.Wing) Department dated 15-4-1986 and consequential Memo.No.480-LAR (2)87/2, dated 24-8-1987 as highly illegal, arbitrary, discrimination and also in violation of Article 14,16 and 21 of Constitution of India and consequential the Honble High court may pleased to direct the respondents herein to consider the petitioners’ claim for employment in any suitable posts under displaced quota as per the guidelines issued under G.O.Ms.No.98 Irrigation, (PROJ.Wing) Department dated 15-4-1986 for providing employment and consequential Memo.No.480-LAR (2)87/2-, dated 24-8-1987 by preparing a seniority list and may pass…”

2. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioners and the learned Government Pleader for the respondents.

3. The case of the petitioners is that the respondents have not considered the petitioners’ claim for employment in suitable posts under the displaced quota as per the guidelines issued in G.O.Ms.No.98, Irrigation (Proj. Wing) Department and the consequential Memo.No.480- LAR (2)87/2, which action of the respondents is illegal and arbitrary. Hence the writ petition.

4. The learned counsel for the petitioners submits that in similar facts and circumstances, this Court has already granted relief in W.P. No.33135 of 2023 by order dated 23.01.2025, and therefore the petitioners are also entitled to the same relief.

5. The petitioners further brought to the notice of this Court that under G.O.Ms.No.98, Irrigation (Project Wing) Department, dated 15.04.1986, the condition of one-year limitation prescribed therein cannot be insisted upon, in view of Government Memo No.480-LAR (2)/87-2, dated 24.08.1987, the orders of the A.P. Administrative Tribunal in O.A.No.7917 of 2003 dated 16.07.2007, the judgment of the Hon’ble High Court in W.P.No.2436 of 2011 dated 08.02.2011 which was confirmed by the Hon’ble Supreme Court in SLP No.14305 of 2011 by order dated 04.07.2011, and also the common judgment of this Court in W.P.(AT) No.174 of 2021 and batch dated 13.12.2022.

6. In fact, the learned counsel for the petitioners also brought to the notice of this Court the observations in W.A.No.356 of 2023. Certain writ petitions, wherein rejection of the cases of the petitioners under G.O.Ms.No.98, Irrigation (Project Wing) Department, dated 15.04.1986, was challenged, were allowed, and the appeals preferred therein were disposed of with the following observation: “In this Connection it is respectfully submitted that recently this Court rendered an elaborate Judgment on the subject matter in W.P.(AT) No.174 of 2021 and batch, dated 13.12.2022 by considering all the earlier Judgments passed by APAT and the D.B. of this Hon’ble High Court in W.P.No. 2436 of 2011 which was confirmed by the Hon’ble Apex Court in Special Leave to Appeal (Civil) No.14305 of 2011, dated 04.07.2011, directing the Respondents to provide employment to the Petitioners therein by adopting the procedure prescribed in G.O.Ms.No.98, dated 15.04.1986 and also in respect of other candidates, who now remain out of employment. I am also similarly situated and identically placed to the petitioners therein and entitled for appointment in terms of G.O.Ms.No.98. Hence, this Writ Petition.”

7. On perusal of the directions of the Division Bench of this Court in W.P.No.2436 of 2011, this Writ Petition is disposed of, directing the respondents to consider the case of the petitioners for appointment as per G.O.Ms.No.98, Irrigation (Project Wing) Department, dated 15.04.1986 and to pass appropriate orders. The said exercise may be completed within a period of three (03) months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. There shall be no order as to costs.

Consequently, Miscellaneous Petitions, if any, pending in the writ petition shall stand closed.
