The grievance of the petitioners is with regard to the non-consideration of the 2nd petitioner’s candidature under the land losers quota in the respondent Corporation. 3. At the time of considering the matter, Sri Ravikanth, learned counsel appearing for the 2nd respondent Corporation, submits that the issue involved in the lis, had already been dealt with by the Hon’ble Division Bench of this Court in W.A. No.908 of 2023 dated 03.11.2023. The said judgment was served to the learned counsel appearing for the petitioners. 4. In response, the learned counsel appearing for the petitioners acceded to the above submission. 5. Having regard to the submissions made, this Court deems it appropriate to dispose of the writ petition, in the light of the directions of Hon’ble Division Bench of this Court in Writ Appeal No.908 of 2023, dated 03.11.2023. The order of the Hon’ble Division Bench, which is relevant in the present context, reads as follows:- “…..13. A perusal of G.O.Ms.No.98, dated 15.04.1986 as well as the communications between the respondents and land losers, set out before this Court would show that the respondents had only assured the land losers that 50% of the posts, under the appropriate categories, would be reserved for the land losers and they would be given employment as and when recruitment for these posts is held. 14. In such circumstances, we do not find any ground to interfere with the order of the Learned Single Judge of this Court dated 14.03.2023 and accordingly, this Writ Appeal is dismissed…….” 4 6. Since the directions issued by the Hon’ble Division Bench are binding, the 2nd respondent Corporation shall look into the matter and take necessary action, in considering the candidature of the 2nd petitioner under the land losers quota whenever the recruitment process for the posts is undertaken in the 2nd respondent Corporation. Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of. No order as to costs. As a sequel, miscellaneous petitions pending, if any, shall stand closed. _______________________________ JUSTICE MAHESWARA RAO KUNCHEAM Date: 28.10.2025 GVK 5 THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE MAHESWARA RAO KUNCHEAM WRIT PETITION No.9391 of 2016 Date: 28.10.2025 GVK
