ORDER:

Heard Mr. K. R. Srinivas, learned counsel for the petitioner, and learned Assistant Government Pleader for Services-III appearing for the respondents.

2. The case of the petitioner, in brief, is that he appeared for the examination for recruitment to the post of Hindu Pandit Grade-II conducted by DSC in the year 2002 and he was declared as eligible for appointment as a local candidate. As the respondents were not issuing orders of appointment, he approached the A. P. Administrative Tribunal at Hyderabad (for short 'the Tribunal') by filing O.A.No.12041 of 2009 and the Tribunal allowed the said O.A. along with other O.As., which were filed by other eligible candidates, by way of a common order dated 24.02.2010 directing the respondents to consider the cases of the applicants, who were selected in DSC-2002, in the order of merit by taking into consideration the Memo issued by the Government dated 17.12.2009 and pass appropriate orders by taking into consideration their eligibility, suitability and if they come within the zone of consideration. Pursuant to the orders of the Tribunal, the 3rd respondent issued proceedings dated 19.08.2017, 05.07.2019, 16.01.2021 and 22.06.2021 appointing some of the candidates as Language Pandits (Hindi). The grievance of the petitioner is that though he made a representation to the 3 rd respondent on 15.10.2020 seeking to consider his case for appointment to the post of Hindu Pandit Grade-II, no orders have been passed so far, though the candidates, who secured lesser marks than him, were given appointment orders.

3. Considered the submissions made by the learned counsel for both sides and perused the material available on record.

4. As it is the grievance of the petitioner that though he made a representation to the 3rd respondent, no orders are passed till date despite the fact that the Tribunal directed the respondents to consider the case of the petitioner vide order dated 15.10.2020 in O.A.No.12041 of 2009 and batch, the 3rd respondent is directed to take necessary action on the petitioner's representation dated 15.10.2020 and pass orders thereon in accordance with law, within a period of six weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. No order as to costs.

5. Consequently, miscellaneous petitions, if any, pending in the writ petition shall stand closed.
