Jagdesh P v. State Of Telangana

Date :27.7.2018 Between:

Jagdesh P S/o Bhojanna 43 years R/o H No. 7, Ichoda village & mandal Adilabad district 504307 Petitioner And State of Telangana Rep by its Principal Secretary Animal Husbandary & Fisheries Department Telangana, Secretariat, Hyderabad and another Respondents The Court made the following:

ORAL ORDER:

Heard learned counsel for petitioner, learned Government Pleader for Animal Husbandry and learned standing counsel for TSPSC Sri Balkishan Rao and with their consent the writ petition is taken up for disposal at the admission stage.

2.

Petitioner participated in pursuant to the selections for recruitment to the post of Veterinary Assistant in the agency area reserved for local ST candidates. As per the recruitment notification dated 23.7.2017, a local ST candidate has to produce local residence certificate to be eligible for consideration for such employment. Admittedly, petitioner has not obtained the certificate and produced before finalization of the selections and could secure such certificate only on 9.7.2018 by which date selections were finalized and orders of appointment were also issued on 26.6.2018. Petitioner filed this writ petition claiming that two vacancies remained unfilled and certificate obtained by him on 9.7.2018 should be considered for the purpose of providing employment in unfilled vacancies.

3.

According to clause IV of the recruitment notification, the candidate is required to keep ready all the certificates mentioned therein for the purpose of verification. Item No.7 of this paragraph requires local schedule area certificate to be kept ready for verification. Thus, even by the time of verification of the certificates, the certificate showing the local status of the candidate should be available. This verification process was undertaken much prior to 26.6.2018, on which date appointment orders were issued on finalization of the selection process. In view of the mandatory requirement of recruitment notification, as petitioner did not have schedule area certificate with him by the time certificate verification was taken up, merely because two

vacancies remain unfilled, he cannot seek consideration based on certificate obtained on 9.7.2018. Thus, writ petition is misconceived and accordingly dismissed. No costs.

Miscellaneous petitions, if any pending, are closed. __________________ P NAVEEN RAO,J DATE: 27-07-2018 TVK
