IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE, ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD (Special Original Jurisdiction) WEDNESDAY, THE SIXTH DAY OF OCTOBER TWO THOUSAND AND TEN PRESENT THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE SANJAY KUMAR WRIT PETITION No : 17414 of 2010 Between: M.Gopal and others. ..... Petitioners. AND The Executive Director (AM & GHZ), JBS, Picket, Secunderabad and others. .....Respondents. THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE SANJAY KUMAR WRIT PETITION No : 17414 of 2010 ORDER: The petitioners assail the action of the Andhra Pradesh State Road Transport Corporation (APSRTC) in canceling their regularization in service as drivers, under the proceedings dated 21.04.2010. The matter is squarely covered by the order dated 27.08.2010 passed by a learned Judge of this Court in W.P.Nos.20028 and 20048 of 2010. A copy of the said order is placed before me. Dealing with an identical fact situation, the learned judge was of the opinion that an order cancelling regularization in service had a grave impact and that, without complying with the principles of natural justice such an order cannot be passed. I am in respectful agreement with this view. The writ petition is accordingly allowed setting aside the order dated 21.4.2010. Needless to state, the APSRTC shall be at liberty to take such further action as is considered appropriate, duly following the principles of natural justice. There shall be no order as to costs. ____________________________ JUSTICE SANJAY KUMAR Date: 06.10.2010 mrb
