HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE R.KANTHA RAO O R D E R :
Heard the learned counsel appearing for the petitioners and the learned counsel appearing for the respondents.
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 petitioners 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 petitioners 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 applications from the petitioners.
5.
Therefore, the respondents are directed to receive the applications
from the petitioners and allow them to participate in the selection process including the written test and interviews to the existing vacancies of temporary Attenders and part-time Sweeper posts without insisting that their names 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.
