ORDER:
The present Writ Petition is filed, under Article 226 of the Constitution of India, seeking the following relief:
“to issue any writ, order or direction more particularly one in the nature of Writ of Mandamus or an appropriate writ or order declaring the action of the Respondents in particular the 4th Respondent in not taking any action pursuant to the Proceedings Rc.No.28/Estt/OS/ TPT/2022 dated 26-9-2023 of 3rd Respondent with regard to allowing the petitioner to join duty as Data Entry Operator in the office of the Respondents as arbitrary, illegal, extraneous considerations, and in violation of Article 14 of the Constitution of India, and consequently direct the Respondents in particular 4th Respondent to take appropriate decision pursuant to the Proceedings Rc.No.28/Estt/OS/ TPT/2022 dated 26-9-2023 of the 3rd Respondent with regard to allowing the petitioner to join duty as Data Entry Operator in the office of the Respondents and to pass….”
2. Heard Sri Subbarao Korrapati, learned counsel for the petitioner and learned Assistant Government Pleader appearing for respondents.
3. The contention of the petitioner is that, initially she was selected and appointed on outsourcing basis on 18.7.2017 as Data Entry Operator and she continued accordingly. On medical grounds, when she is unable to attend the duty, she submitted her resignation on 22.8.2022. Subsequently, due to recovery of her health, she made an application/ representation on 10.01.2023 to respondent no.5 with a request to consider her case to continue in the existing vacancy and respondent no.3 has recommended for the same. Despite the same, respondent no.4 has not taken the petitioner into consideration for continuation. Hence the Writ Petition.
4. Learned standing counsel has placed instructions submitted by the District Head Housing, Tirupati District. In fact, he has recommended and also requested for re-appointment of petitioner as data entry operator. As the said authority is not competent, the matter has been referred to the District Head Housing, Chittoor and he circulated the file to District Collector, Tirupati for filling up of the vacancy of data entry operation in Tirupati. Hence orders are awaiting from the District Collector, Tirupati.
5. In view of the same, without going into the merits of the case, the respondents more particularly respondent no.8 is directed to consider the case of the petitioner, if any existing vacancy is available, and pass appropriate orders within a period of two (02) months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order.
6. With the above observation, the Writ Petition is disposed of. No costs.
As a sequel thereto, interlocutory applications pending, if any, in the writ petition, shall also stand closed.
