THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE ABHINAND KUMAR SHAVILI
AND
THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE NAMAVARAPU RAJESHWAR RAO
Writ Appeal No.1792 of 2013
JUDGMENT : (Per Hon'ble Justice Abhinand Kumar Shavili)
This Writ Appeal is filed by the appellants assailing
the order passed by a learned Single Judge of this Court in
Writ Petition No.14859 of 2007, dated 22.06.2012.
2. Heard Mr. Ramesh, learned Standing Counsel for the
appellants and Mr. Srikanth, learned counsel for the
respondent.
3. Learned Standing Counsel for the appellants
contended that the respondent responded to a notification
issued by the appellants for the post of Lecturer; as per the
said notification, the qualifications required for the post of
Lecturer is M.A. / M.Sc. with B.Ed. (Special Education)
from a recognized University or equivalent certificate with
minimum of three years of experience of teaching to the
visually impaired students; the respondent was appointed ::2:: AKS,J & RRN,J wa_1792_2013
as a Lecturer with the appellants vide proceedings dated
16.06.2005 with certain terms and conditions; as the
respondent has violated Condition No.3 of the appointment
letter, the services of the respondent were terminated in
accordance with Clause No.3(i) of the appointment order.
4. Learned counsel for the appellants further contended
that two posts were notified : one post at Hyderabad, and
another post, which was earmarked for 'OBC', at
Bhuvaneshwar; since the respondent was a candidate
belonging to 'OBC', his appointment has to be treated as
appointment against the post at Bhuvaneshwar, and
Condition No.3 in the appointment order has made it very
clear that the services of respondent would be terminated
at any point of time; aggrieved by the order of termination
dated 28.06.2007, the respondent approached this Court
by filing Writ Petition No.14859 of 2007; vide order dated
22.06.2012, a learned Single Judge of this Court was
pleased to allow the Writ Petition by setting aside the
termination orders by directing that the respondent be
continued in service, without appreciating the fact that the
respondent was appointed in a post which was advertised ::3:: AKS,J & RRN,J wa_1792_2013
at Bhuvaneshwar, and the post which was advertised at
Hyderabad was a lien post and it was not a regular post;
and therefore, prayed this Court to pass appropriate orders
in the Writ Appeal by setting aside the orders passed by
the learned Single Judge in Writ Petition 14859 of 2007,
dated 22.06.2012.
5. On the other hand, learned counsel for the
respondent contended that though the respondent is a
Member belonging to 'OBC' and secured highest marks, he
should have been appointed against an 'Un-Reserved' post
which was advertised in the notification; the learned Single
Judge has rightly set aside the termination order;
moreover, there was no interim suspension of the order
passed by the learned Single Judge in Writ Petition 14859
of 2007, dated 22.06.2012; by virtue of the said order of
the learned Single Judge, the respondent is being
continued in service and later the services of the
respondent was also regularized, and the appellants are
continuing the respondent with all consequential benefits;
and there are no merits in the Writ Appeal and the same is
liable to be dismissed.

6. This Court, having considered the rival submissions
made by the parties, is of the considered view that the
termination order is dated 28.06.2007, and we are in the
year 2022; and in pursuance of the order passed by the
learned Single Judge in Writ Petition 14859 of 2007, dated
22.06.2012, the appellants are continuing the respondent
in service with all consequential benefits. Moreover, the
respondent has secured the highest marks in the
selections. Therefore, his case has to be understood that
he has to be appointed against the 'Un-Reserved' vacancy
and he does not fall under Clause No.3(i) of the
appointment order which was notified in the notification.
Therefore, this Court is not inclined to interfere with the
order passed by the learned Single Judge in Writ Petition
14859 of 2007, dated 22.06.2012. Moreover, the order
passed by the learned Single Judge was also not
suspended by this Court which would mean that the
orders passed by the learned Single Judge were already
implemented. On this ground also, this Court is not
inclined to interfere with the order passed by the learned ::5:: AKS,J & RRN,J wa_1792_2013
Single Judge in Writ Petition 14859 of 2007, dated
22.06.2012.
7. Accordingly, the Writ Appeal is dismissed. No costs.
8. As a sequel, miscellaneous applications pending if
any in this Writ Appeal, shall stand closed.
