HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE L. NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.28740 OF 2010 ORDER: Petitioner was employed as Driver in the A.P.S.R.T.C. He was subjected to medical examination and it is stated that he was found unfit to be continued in that post. Petitioner is stated that on account of wrong diagnosis, his leg was amputated. Petitioner contends that the Corporation is under obligation to provide him alternative employment either under the circulars issued by it or under the Persons with Disabilities (Equal Opportunities, Protection of Rights and Full Participation) Act, 1995 (for short ‘the Act’). His grievance is that no steps have taken so far and that he is suffering for want of livelihood. 2. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Standing Counsel for the respondents. 3. Petitioner was retired from service, before he attained the age of superannuation, on the ground that he is medically unfit. The Corporation had evolved a policy of providing alternative employment to the Drivers, who are found unfit or to provide them the additional monetary benefit. Further, there exists an obligation on the part of the Corporation to provide alternative employment in terms of Section 47 of the Act. The petitioner cannot be left in lurch, once he was found unfit. 4. Hence, the Writ Petition is disposed of directing that the 1st respondent shall consider the feasibility of providing alternative employment to the petitioner, if he is otherwise fit to discharge any functions of any post in the depot. If it emerges that the petitioner is not fit to discharge any such functions, they shall extend the benefit in terms of the Act. This exercise shall be completed within a period of four weeks from today. There shall be no order as costs. _____________________ L. NARASIMHA REDDY, J. November 29, 2010. KTL
