O R D E R
This writ petition was filed with the following prayer: 'For the reasons stated in the accompanying affidavit, the petitioner prays that this Hon'ble Court may be pleased to issue an order, direction or a Writ one in the nature of 'MANDAMUS' declaring (i) the action of the respondents rejecting the recruitment of the Petitioners as Junior Lineman (ii) the action of the respondent in prescribing the upper age limit as 35 years, as illegal, arbitrary, discriminatory and unconstitutional and by setting aside the same direct the respondents to appoint and regularize the services of the petitioner in the post of Junior Lineman, by suitably relaxing the upper age limit, the services, and pass such other relief or reliefs as this Hon'ble Court may deem fit just and necessary in the circumstances of the case.'
The basis for the aforestated prayer of the petitioners was the judgment rendered by a learned Judge of this Court in W.P.No.25580 of 2006. Smt. K. Udaya Sri, learned counsel appearing for the respondents, however stated that the judgment in W.P.No.25580 of 2006 was set aside by a Division Bench of this Court in W.A.No.21 of 2007. A copy of the judgment dated 04.11.2009 passed in W.A.No.21 of 2007 is placed on record. In the light of the aforestated judgment, the prayer of the petitioners cannot be countenanced. The writ petition is devoid of merit and is accordingly dismissed. Pending miscellaneous petitions shall also stand dismissed. No order as to costs.
