@@@@@ 

In the reference first cited, instructions were issued on reporting of vacancies to Andhra Pradesh Public Service Commission, so as to issue notification for Direct Recruitment and to fill the vacancies by Direct Recruitment as follows:

 

1. The Unit-Officers should not alter the estimate of vacancies once furnished by reducing the number;

 

2. The Unit Officers should not fill up the vacancies earmarked for recruitment by the Andhra Pradesh Public Service Commission / District Selection Committees by other methods / through other sources;

 

3. The Unit Officers should admit the candidates allotted by the Andhra Pradesh Public Service Commission or District Selection Committee even by replacing those appointed temporary or on ad-hoc basis;

 

4. If any Schemes etc., are given up subsequent to sending the estimate of vacancies, the position should be immediately intimated to the Andhra Pradesh Public Service Commission /District Selection Committee and estimate should be withdrawn or reduced well in advance, but in any case, before selection is completed and candidates are actually allotted, depending upon the circumstances;

 

5. The Unit Officers should not surrender the candidates once allotted by the Andhra Pradesh Public Service Commission/ District Selection Committee with reference to their earlier requisitions, but keep the lists with them for absorption in future vacancies that are likely to arise in the particular recruitment year;

 

6. The Unit Officers should seek the advice of the Andhra Pradesh Public Service Commission / District Selection Committee in case surrender of candidates is inevitable. After hearing from the Recruiting Agencies only, the Unit Officers should either surrender the candidates or absorb them as per the advice given by the Commission / District Selection Committee.

2. The Andhra Pradesh Public Service Commission in its letter second cited has brought to the notice of the Government that the Andhra Pradesh Public Service Commission has notified vacancies under Group IV Services, 1998 for various posts in pursuance of requisitions made by certain Departments, and thereafter the selection process initiated by the Commission reached final stage, one of the Departments has submitted proposal to withdraw the vacancies already notified by Andhra Pradesh Public Service Commission. Such withdrawal of vacancies by Unit Officers at that juncture put the Commission in a very inconvenient situation resulting in legal tangles. The Commission has also brought to the notice of the Government that several Unit Officers are surrendering the selected candidates allotted by the Commission expressing their inability to absorb them on the ground that they have taken candidates on transfer in exigencies of worker on daily wages etc. The Principal Secretary, A.P. Public Service Commission desired that the Government may issue necessary instructions to all the Unit Officers, against withdrawal of the vacancies once notified to the Commission under Direct Recruitment.

3. The Government agree with suggestion of the A.P. Public Service Commission and decided that the instructions issued earlier in the reference first cited be reiterated. All the Departments of Secretariat, all the Heads of Departments and District Collectors and other Appointing Authorities are therefore requested to ensure that these instructions are followed scrupulously.
