K.Rajesh v. Syndicate Bank,

HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE R.KANTHA RAO Writ Petition No.18614 of 2015 Date: 24-6-2015 Between K.Rajesh ... Petitioner and Syndicate Bank, Regional Office (Rural), Khairatabad, Hyderabad, Rep. by its Dy. GM;

and another ... Respondents HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE R.KANTHA RAO Writ Petition No.18614 of 2015 Order:

Heard Sri K.Nageshwar Reddy, learned counsel appearing for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader for Labour for the State of Telangana appearing for the 2nd respondent.

2. The 1st respondent-Bank made a requisition to the 2nd respondent to sponsor the candidates belonging to OC, BC, SC and ST communities for the posts of temporary Attenders and part-time Sweepers. The grievance of the

petitioner is that the respondents have not been receiving the applications from the candidates other than those sponsored by the Employment Exchange. The present writ petition is therefore filed to direct the respondents to receive the applications form the petitioner for the posts of temporary Attenders and part-time Sweepers without insisting upon their names being sponsored by the Employment Exchange.

3. Reliance is placed by the learned counsel appearing for the petitioners on Excise Superintendent, Machilipatnam, Krishna District, A.P., v.

K.B.N.

Visweshawara Rao,[1] wherein the Supreme Court has laid down categorically that restricting the selection only to the candidates sponsored by Employment Exchange is not proper. In addition to requisitioning the names from Employment Exchange, names should also be called for by publication in newspapers, having wide circulation and display on office notice boards or announcement of radio, television and employment news bulletins.

4. In view of the above judgment of the Hon'ble Supreme Court, the respondents are under obligation to receive the application from the petitioner.

5. Therefore, the respondents are directed to receive the applications from the petitioner and allow him to participate in the selection process including the written test and interviews to the existing vacancies of temporary Attender and part-time Sweeper posts without insisting that

his name must be sponsored by the employment Exchange. The writ petition is disposed of accordingly. The miscellaneous petitions, if any, pending in this writ petition shall stand closed. No costs.
