THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.21648 of 2011 ORDER: The petitioner was sanctioned physically handicapped (PHC) allowance by the Andhra Pradesh State Road Transport Corporation in view of the fact that his left leg above the knee level was amputated on account of the injuries received by him in an accident. However, the allowance was stopped with effect from 01.07.2009. The petitioner submitted a representation dated 29.12.2010 stating that his handicap subsists and payment of PHC allowance be continued further. His grievance is that no orders have been passed thereon. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned standing counsel for the respondent corporation. The corporation itself recognized the entitlement of the petitioner to be paid PHC allowance. In case it finds that it is no longer necessary to pay PHC allowance to the petitioner, the reasons ought to have been stated and the matter ought to have been enquired from the petitioner. Abrupt stoppage of allowance would certainly lead to suffering of the petitioner. Hence, the Writ Petition is disposed of directing the respondents to pass appropriate orders on the representation dated 29.12.2010 submitted by the petitioner within a period of four weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. There shall be no order as to costs. _______________________ L.NARASIMHA REDDY, J 02nd August, 2011 GHN
