Sri Karthik Shah, learned Counsel, appeared on behalf of Sri JADA SRAVAN KUMAR, learned counsel for the Petitioner on record. Counsel for the Respondent(S): 1. GP FOR SERVICES II The Court made the following: 2 THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE NYAPATHY VIJAY W.P.No.23469 of 2025 O R D E R: In the present Writ Petition, the Petitioner is questioning the action of the Respondents in withholding the Petitioner’s appointment as School Assistant (Physical Education) under Mega DSC-2025 as illegal and arbitrary. 2. The Petitioner is working as an outsourcing lecturer in A.P. Model School, CK Palle, since 2013. The Petitioner had obtained a B.P.Ed from Sri Krishnadevaraya University in the year 2020 and cleared the Andhra Pradesh Teacher Eligibility Test (APTET) Paper 2B in the year 2018 and secured 83 marks.In the examination conducted pursuant to the DSC Notification, 2025, the Petitioner had secured a normalized score of 71 and earned a place in the merit list under the BC-A Category.Thereafter, she was called for certificate verification on 28.08.2025 at Anantapur, and in the certificate verification, she had submitted all the documents required.Thereupon, the Petitioner’s appointment was withheld on the basis of a complaint said to have been made against her qualifications. 3 Hence, the present Writ Petition. 3. Sri G. Ramachandra Rao, learned Government Pleader would submit that the reason for withholding the further process of the Petitioner was that the Petitioner, while working as an outsourcing lecturer at A.P. Modal School, Ck Palli from 20.11.2013, had studied the B.P.Ed course without obtaining necessary permission from the Appointing Authority and therefore, the candidature of the Petitioner for appointment to the Post of School Assistant (Physical Education) in DSC-2025 was rejected. 4. Having heard the respective counsel, there is no dispute to the fact that the Petitioner secured a B.P.Ed qualification from Sri Krishnadevaraya University and is entitled to be appointed on the score that she has obtained in the DSC Examinations, 2025. The rejection of the candidature of the Petitioner on account of not obtaining a ‘No Objection Certificate’ from the A.P. Model School where she was working on an outsourcing basis may not be a serious disqualification. Therefore, this Court is of the opinion that as long as the Petitioner has the requisite qualification for being appointed as 4 School Assistant as per the DSC Notification, 2025, the candidature of the Petitioner cannot be rejected. Hence, the present Writ Petition is disposed of with the following directions: (i) The Respondent Authorities are directed to consider the case of the Petitioner for recruitment to the post of School Assistant (Physical Education) in the light of her qualifications and marks secured in the DSC examination, 2025. (ii) There shall be no order as to costs. As a sequel, miscellaneous applications, if any, shall stand closed. __________________ NYAPATHY VIJAY, J Date: 08.09.2025 eha 5 THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE NYAPATHY VIJAY WRIT PETITION NO: 23469/2025 Dt. 08.09.2025 eha
