THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE R.SUBHASH REDDY WRIT PETITION No.5196 of 2010 ORDER: In this writ petition, the petitioner, who worked as Driver on contract basis in APSRTC, questioned the proceedings, dated 09.09.2007, whereby the first respondent confirmed the proceedings, dated 30.04.2007 issued by the second respondent terminating the services of the petitioner on the ground that he drove the bus in a rash and negligent manner. It is the case of the petitioner that the second respondent without issuing any notice and conducting any enquiry, issued the proceedings, dated 30.04.2007 terminating his services on the allegation that he drove the bus in a rash and negligent manner. The petitioner stated that the allegation mentioned in the proceedings, dated 30.04.2007 causes stigma on him. Learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that similar matters are already allowed by this Court and Writ Petition No.5998 of 2009, which was disposed of by this Court on 23.03.2009, is one of them. Learned Standing Counsel appearing for the respondents fairly admitted that similar matters are allowed by this Court giving liberty to the Department to conduct enquiry, if it so chooses. Following the order, dated 23.03.2009, passed by this Court in Writ Petition No.5998 of 2009, this writ petition is allowed and order of termination passed by the second respondent on 30.04.2007 is set aside. However, it is made clear that if there is any misconduct on the part of the petitioner, this order will not preclude the respondents to take necessary action in accordance with law. No order as to costs. ______________________ R.SUBHASH REDDY, J 8th MARCH, 2010. kvni
