D. Karunakar Reddy v. Appsc

THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE SANJAY KUMAR AND THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE M.GANGA RAO WRIT PETITION NO.11095 OF 2018 O R D E R : (Per Hon'ble Sri Justice Sanjay Kumar) The prayer of the petitioner in this case reads as under: "For the reasons stated in the accompanying affidavit, it is prayed that this Hon'ble Court may be pleased to issue writ, order or direction more in the nature of Mandamus declaring the action of the respondents particularly APPSC in revising the selection list of Group-II Services pursuant to Advt. No.10/99 as illegal, bad and arbitrary and consequently set-aside the final selection list dated 9-62017 and direct the respondents to continue the petitioner as Senior Accountant to which the petitioner was selected earlier and presently working in higher cadre of Sub Treasury Officer with all consequential benefits and pass such other and further orders as this Hon'ble Court may deem fit."

We are informed that a similar issue arose for consideration in W.P.No.5419 of 2018 before another Division Bench of this Court and, upon being apprised that the Supreme Court was seized of the issue, the said Division Bench disposed of the writ petition, by order dated 08.03.2018, directing the authorities to continue the petitioner therein in service as per the willingness given on 02.01.2017 pursuant to the letter issued by the Andhra Pradesh Public Service Commission.

Sri C.Srinivasa Baba, learned counsel for the Andhra Pradesh Public Service Commission, also concedes that the same relief can be extended to the petitioner herein.

For reasons alike as were mentioned in the afore-stated order and in terms thereof, this writ petition is disposed of directing the continuance of the petitioner in services as per the willingness given by him. Needless to state, the same would be subject to the outcome of the case pending before the Supreme Court. Pending miscellaneous petitions, if any, shall stand closed in the light of the aforestated order. No order as to costs. ____________________ SANJAY KUMAR, J ____________________ M.
