Counsel for the Petitioner: MR.A.K.JAYAPRAKASH RAO Counsel for the Respondents: Mr. VTM Prasad. The Court made the following : ORDER: The grievance of the petitioner is that her husband was absorbed as cleaner under displaced persons quota in APSRTC with effect from 24.10.1997 and unfortunately he died on 5.11.2000. The employment offered to the husband of the petitioner was regular in nature and he was entitled to regularisation of his services immediately after completion of 240 days, but the respondents have not adopted such a course of action. But, due to the untimely death of the husband of the petitioner on 5.11.2000, the petitioner is not getting any benefits like family pension etc., Therefore, unless the respondents regularize the services of the husband of the petitioner immediately after 240 days of his service in the said post, she will not get all those benefits. Hence the writ petition. In view of the above, without expressing any opinion on merits, this Court deem it appropriate to direct the petitioner to make a detailed representation before the respondents and on such representation being made, the respondents shall pass appropriate orders within two months thereof, as per law. With the above direction, the writ petition is disposed of. No costs. ------------------------------- kvsn 23-11-2004 To 1. A.P. State Road Transport Corporation, rep.
