WRIT PETITION NOs.34122 & 34157 OF 2018 COMMON ORDER:

These writ petitions are filed praying to grant the following reliefs:

" to issue a writ order or direction especially one in the nature of writ of mandamus a) directing the 2nd respondent not to fill up 3/7 posts of General Purpose Employee (Water Supply) in pursuance of G.O.Ms.No.111 Finance (HRM-II) Department, dated 01.08.2018;

b) action of the 2nd respondent in seeking to fill up 200 posts of General Purpose Employee (Water Supply) without reserving the posts which re in question by the petitioners before this Court is illegal and arbitrary;

c) and pass such order or orders as the Court may deemed fit and proper in the circumstances of the cases." 2.

Vide G.O.Ms.No.111 dated 01.08.2018, Government accorded sanction for creation of 692 posts in various categories in Hyderabad Metropolitan Water Supply and Sewerage Board, including 200 in each of the two cadres petitioners desired to be appointed.

Petitioners claim that their entitlement for regularization is pending consideration and at this stage, if the recruitment is taken up by the respondent-Board to fill up all the vacancies notified without considering their entitlement, grave prejudice would be caused to them.

3.

Though posts were sanctioned by the Government on 01.08.2018, no further steps are taken up by the respondentBoard. Even before the selection process is set in motion by the respondent Board to fill up the vacancies now sanctioned, petitioners cannot claim that the vacancies to the extent of number of petitioners in the writ petitions should not be filled up. Cause in

the writ petitions is premature and writ petitions are accordingly dismissed. It is always open to petitioners to work out their remedies as available in law as and when cause of action arises affecting their entitlement. Pending miscellaneous petitions shall stand closed.
