State Road Transport Corporation appearing for the respondents and with the consent of both the counsel, the writ petition is being disposed of at the admission stage. 2. The petitioner, who suffered an order of termination, has filed this writ petition challenging the said orders as arbitrary and illegal. 3. The petitioner was appointed as Driver on contract basis in the month of April, 2006. Alleging that he caused fatal accident, his services were terminated by the 3rd respondent-Depot Manager, Adoni Depot, Kurnool District, by order dated 14.02.2008.

Contending that the said order of termination is illegal for the reason that no enquiry was conducted and the order of termination passed without conducting enquiry is non-est, the petitioner has filed this writ petition. 4. Both the counsel fairly submit that the issue involved and the relief sought for in this writ petition is squarely covered by a decision of this Court in W.P.No.5998 of 2009, dated 23.03.2009. 5. In view of the said submission, following the said judgment, this writ petition is allowed and the impugned orders are quashed.
