Petitioner AND Andhra Pradesh Tourism Development Corporation Limited & another. .. Respondents THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.19392 OF 2005 ORDER: The petitioner was employed as a driver with the 1st respondent. Certain disciplinary proceedings were initiated and ultimately it resulted in imposition of the punishment of withholding two increments with cumulative effect. The order became final. The petitioner submitted a representation on 14.03.2005 stating that he was illegally denied the salary and other benefits for the period from 17.05.1997 to 02.08.1999 and requested the 1st respondent to extend the benefit of salary etc., for that period. On 19.07.2005, the 2nd respondent rejected the same. The grievance of the petitioner is that no reasons were furnished for rejection of the claim. Heard B.S.A. Satyanarayana, the learned counsel for the petitioner, and Sri N. Krishna Rao, learned Standing Counsel for the respondents. Though several contentions are urged on merits, this Court is not inclined to deal with the same. A perusal of the representation, dated 14.03.2005, submitted by the petitioner discloses that he pleaded several facts and grounds in support of the relief claimed by him. The respondents are under obligation to consider the same and in case they are of the view that the claim of the petitioner cannot be accepted, they have to furnish the reasons in support of their conclusions. The impugned order does not furnish any reasons whatsoever. On this short ground the writ petition is disposed of and the order, dated 19.07.2005, is set aside. It is left open to the respondents to pass fresh orders dealing with the contentions advanced by the petitioner in his representation. No order as to costs. ________________________ 05.09.2005 ES
