COMMISSIONER OF COLLEGIATE EDUCATION Vs. R. SRINIVAS

JUDGEMENT

(1.) Leave granted.

(2.) Heard learned counsel for the parties. Earlier by our order dated 16.12.2014 we noted the stand of Mr. Guntur Prabhakar, learned counsel appearing for the appellants, that the State Government has taken the initiative to implement our suggestion made in our order dated 28.10.2014, a Scheme has been formulated on 19.1.2015. Under the said Scheme, the State has now come forward with the following proposals: -

(3.) To the said Scheme, objections were filed on behalf of the contesting private respondents on 2.2.2015. Along with the objections, the profiles of the private respondents have also been furnished under Annexure A3, which discloses that out of eight respondents, Respondents -Smt. Neela Krishna Veni, Smt. M. Madhavi and Dr. K. Hanuma Reddy have crossed the age limit of 45 years and thereby they will not be able to fall within the condition set out in paragraph 3(b) of the Scheme. As far as, rest of the candidates are concerned, we find that except Respondents -Dr. P. Venugopal and Dr. K. Hanuma Reddy the other respondents do not fulfill the educational qualification, namely, having passed National Eligibility Test (NET) though all of them are possessing M. Phil qualification to their credit. That apart, it is not in dispute that all the eight candidates are presently working in the unaided posts in the institution having 'A' Grade assigned by NAAC and thereby the said requirement set out in the Scheme of the Government is also fulfilled. Having considered the above particulars pertaining to the private respondents, we also noticed that each one of them have put in service ranging from 14 years (minimum) to 23 years (maximum).
