Il.r:re is no dispute as to the petitione - ap plying to the post ol th€ Junior Assistalt pursuant to the no tification issued b5' r'e:; )ondent No.1 for appointment to vztriot rs posts, including the: post of Junior Assistant.

It is also specifically stated in the said notification dated 30.06.2023 that if provisionally selected candidates do not fulfil the requirements as mentioned in the notification, the next meritorious candidates will be selected in that slot. It is further stated in the notification that the appointing authority deserves the right to cancel selection of appointment to the post at any stage as per the letter dated 27.O7.2023 issued by respondent.No.l and directed the learned principal District Judge Bhadradri_ Kothagudem District to issue appointment orders to the provisionally selected candidates of Junior Assistants only after verification of their antecedents by the concerned police and after confirming that there are no adverse remarks against the provisionarly selected candidates were notified against the roster points and cycle noted against their names. In the said list, petitioner,s narne was shown at SI.No.2 against roster point No.2 under the category of woman.
13. Further, respondent No.2 addressed a letter, dated O2.O8.2O23, to respondent No. I calling for information of provisionally selected candidates of different posts including t4 ,SK,J&NNR,J w. ' 3@20 2024 the petitiorer in which it is stated that the petitioner was provisionttll i, :;t:lected for the post of Junior Ass;isternt as a locai cand: Ca -,r. But, as per the study certificatt of the individua. sh,: comes under non local as 'she be ongs to Hanumkc,nrleL I)istrict and treated her as Non-l0crl irrstead of local. Res;p,rnlent No. I uide ROC No'1811/12023-Rr), dated 07.O8.2Ot23, tirldressed a letter to respondent l\o'! stating that soorL rfr,r::- taking a decision against the p€'titi( alother, lh:1' vrill inform the same for taking lurtleer lction in Subsequently , uide prc ceedings Dis.No.3!)0 /l\i)MN/DCBKGM, dated 14-o2.2C\24, tht' learned r:rztl ter. 'ner and Principal Dist:Lct Judge, Bhadradri-Kothagudem issued list of selected czrndiCates including the petitioner for tht post of Junior i\s sis t ant and after fixing the senic'rity of the candidatr:s ',)re petitioner was posted as Junior Assistant in the Court o- learned Judicial Magistrate of Firs't Class, Bhadrachatarr. It is further clarified in the said prt 'ceedings that the srrl::ted candidates are purely on temporrrry basis and they a.re, liable to be terminated at any time without any prior notic,: r r without assigning any reason. TlLerera'fter, the Registrar (Fk:r:ruitment) vide its letter dated 11.O7.2024 l5 PS 8i.J&NNR.J w 36420]024 informed the learned Principal District Judge that the High Court having considered his letter had decided to de_list the prorisionally selected candidates of Junior Assistants i.e., Sri Ram Babu Mekala and Ms.Moluguri Divya (petitioner). Further, vide R. O. C. N o. 78 I L / 2022-RC, dated 02. I2.2O24, tine respondent No.1 held that considering the letter, dated
26.07.2024, they have decided to provisionally select the candidate v2., Sandhyarani Samandula for the post of Junior Assistant and subsequently deleted her name having found her to be non-local and selected Degala Samrajyam the next meritorious candidate in her place and issued appointment order to the said provisionally selected candidate as Junior Assistant provisionally subject to verification of her antecedents by the concerned police. L4. The main contention of the petitioner is that the respondents having admitted that the appointment of the petitioner being a mistake on the part of the respondents and being fully aware that the petitioner being a non-local candidate, in the course of arguments to a question posed by this bench, learned Standing Counsel for the respondents placed the marks obtained by the petitioner along with the 16 PSK,J&NN&J w 36420 2024 I other se..e,.:tt:,1 candidate and also the candidates 'gho have been sel:cr-ec in her place, it is found that the f,etit.oner has got less nulrrl)3r of marks comparing to other individ rals, who have been s,-- tr:cted after selecting her in the open cr ttegory of roster poirLt 125. Admittedly, the petitioner belong,; to non- local. 'llrou g,h she is claiming to be appointetl ur.der local category. ,;h r would have al opportunity of b:ing selected under ncn-lc<:al category in the open category. But, the individuals r,rho were already appointed rrnder '-he, open category are lrore meritorious than the petitioner. 'i'herefore, the case o1'the petitioner that she got more marks thren others cannot be ,rr:r rrpted.
15. T'1 rr: other ground raised by the petil ion, rr is that without givir-re any notice, opportuniQr and rvithout following due pro,:eris of law, she was de-selected from th,: post of Junior Assis.tant and the same is in violation of pritciples of natura,I jur;trrrr. The respondents having allowed he: to work for a conside rable period of nine months at-rd odd and now cannot de-st:lect by cancelling her appointment. 'Ihe aspect of the non-follc,rving of principles of natural justice, as r;een from the entire re < ord, the appointment letter ancl th: nt,tification 1l PSK,J&NN&J w 36420 2024 which would clearly show that the selection arrd appointment of the petitioner was only provisiona-r and nght is reserved with the respondents that whenever it is found that she is not eligible, the respondents have a right to cancel her appointment at any point of time without any notice. On the ground that there being a mistake on the part of the respondents, the petitioner being a non_local and less meritorious candidate, the question of accommodating her in the open category does not arise and she caanot claim any equities on the ground that the respondents have not followed the principles of natural justice and there is mistake of appointment.
16. Admittedly, the appointment itself being a mistake of fact, the petitioner cannot take advantage of the same and now claim the equities and also claim her posiUon to be restored. Under the present set of facts, no doubt the appointment of the petitioner being irregular due to the mistake and inadvertence of the concerned respondents, in view of the decision of the Honble Apex Court in yogesh Kumar a. Gouernment of NCT Delhi and. others a, Mohd.. 1 1zoos1 a scc s+e l8 PSK,J&NNR,J \ p,36420:2024 Sartaj a, lsto te of U.P+ and in Sudhir Kumar llingl,h's case {supraf thi,' b:nch is of the opinion that the Jretitiont'r has no case bejb-e this Court to seek interference r vith the terminatiorL ruder. On examination of enlire ma rerial on record arLd r:r':Ll contentions of both the parti,:s, 'his bench is of the opin:or that there are no grounds to itrter[ere with the terminatior'., c zfted 77.12.2024 passed by respondent No.1. L7 . A::ordingly, the Writ Petition is dtsm: sse 1. There shall be no orler as to costs. Miscerllaneous petitions, if any, pendrng shz'll stard closed.
