THE HON'BLE THE CHIEF JUSTICE HIMA KOHLI
AND
THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE A. ABHISHEK REDDY
W.A.No.221 of 2020
JUDGMENT: (Per the Hon'ble the Chief Justice Hima Kohli)
1. The appellant/respondent Nos.2 and 3 in W.P.No.21669 of 2019
are aggrieved by the interim order dated 18.11.2019 passed by the
learned Single Judge disposing of an interim application moved by the
respondent No.1/writ petitioner praying inter alia for staying the
finalization of selection for the posts of Constable (SPF) for Post Code
No.25 in Rc.No.88/Rect./Admn.1/2018 dated 31.05.2018, during the
pendency of the writ petition.
2. By the impugned order, the learned Single Judge has directed the
appellants to consider the case of the respondent No.1/writ petitioner
for appointment to the subject post without rejecting his candidature on
the ground that he is not a member belonging to the Telangana State.
3. Mr. M.V.Rama Rao, learned Special Government Pleader for the
appellants states that the impugned order virtually amounts to deciding
the writ petition itself which is still pending adjudication, as nothing
would survive therein if the interim order is given effect to.
4. We are inclined to agree with the submission made the learned
Special Government Pleader for the appellants. The impugned order
virtually amounts to allowing the writ petition. At the same time,
having regard to the fact that the writ petition is pending adjudication
since the year 2019 and the career of the respondent No.1 is on hold,
it is deemed appropriate to direct the appellants to keep available
one vacant post in the post of Constable under Special Category for
Children of Special Protection Force personnel in Post Code No.25,
during the pendency of the writ petition. The impugned order is
modified accordingly.
5. List W.P.No.21669 of 2019 before the learned Single Judge, as
per roster, with a request to fix an actual date for final hearing of the
writ petition itself.
6. The present appeal is disposed of with the aforesaid directions
along with pending applications, if any.
