THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE B.SESHASAYANA REDDY W.P.NO.1776 OF 2009 ORDER: The petitioner joined in service as driver in 1987 at Godavarikhani Depot. While working as driver at Korutla Depot, he was served with the charge sheet. After due enquiry, he was found guilty and accordingly disciplinary authority imposed punishment of deferment of two increments with cumulative effect apart from recovery of Rs.1,000/- out of the salary and treating the suspension period as not on duty. Ten years thereafter, he preferred an appeal before the Regional Manger, APSRTC, Karimnagar – second respondent, since the appeal has not been taken up by the second respondent, he approached this Court by way of writ petition under Article 226 of the Constitution of India with a prayer to declare the action of the 3rd respondent as illegal and arbitrary. When the writ petition came up for admission, Smt P.Rajani Reddy, standing counsel for APSRTC takes notice on behalf of the respondents 1 to 3. The factual aspect of the petitioner filing an appeal before the second respondent is not in dispute. Such is the situation, the writ petition is disposed of directing the second respondent to consider the appeal in accordance with the regulations in force and pass appropriate orders within three weeks from the date of this order. ____________ 04.02.2009 kvrm THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE B.SESHASAYANA REDDY W.P.NO.1776 OF 2009 DATED: 04.02.2009
