High Court reserves judgment on linemen posts

By S A Ishaqui
Hyderabad, April 23 : Andhra Pradesh High Court on Wednesday reserved its judgement on a writ petition challenging the notifications issued by theAndhraPradesh Power Distribution Corporation Limited for the appointment of junior linemen posts on contract basis.
D Anjaneyulu, one of the applicants filed a petition stating that the APDCL issued a notification on June 8, 2006 to recruit over 7000 personnel in the company. He said that the APDCL again issued a revised notification in October relaxing conditions mentioned in the earlier notification.
While hearing the arguments Justice L Narasimha Reddy observed: "it seems that officials have been changing the rules and regulations whenever theywanted, to help or induct the candidates of their choice. It is nothing but playing with the lives of the unemployed."
