Penubadi Tharaka Hari, v. The Regional Manager,

HON'BLE SRI JSUTICE R.KANTHA RAO Writ Petition No.30181 of 2015 ORDER:

Heard Sri Jalli Narender, learned counsel appearing for the petitioners, Sri B. Rajkumar, learned standing counsel for the 1st respondent and the learned Government Pleader for Employment for the 2nd and 3rd respondents.

2. The 1st respondent Bank made a requisition to the 2nd and 3rd respondents to sponsor the candidates belonging to OC, BC, SC and ST community for the posts of temporary Attender/Sweeper. 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.

3. The present writ petition is therefore filed to direct the respondents to receive the applications form the petitioners for the post of temporary Attender/Sweeper without insisting upon their names being sponsored by the Employment Exchange.

4. Reliance is placed by the learned counsel appearing for the petitioners on 'Excise Superintendent, Machilipatnam, Krishna District, A.P., vs KBN Visweshawara Rao & others[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.

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

the petitioners.

6. 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 Attender/Sweeper posts without insisting that their names must be sponsored by the employment Exchange.

7. Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of. No order as to costs. Miscellaneous petitions pending if any in this writ petition shall stand closed.
