THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY Writ Petition No.26482 of 2010 ORDER: The petitioner, who was employed as Driver in Yemmiganur Depot of A.P.S.R.T.C., on contract basis, was removed from service on 25.06.2008, without conducting any enquiry. An appeal preferred by the petitioner was allowed by the 2nd respondent on 21.11.2008, but he was required to report to duty in the Cantonment Depot of Hyderabad City Zone, for being engaged temporarily. The petitioner feels aggrieved by the same. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned counsel for the respondents. The order of termination, dated 25.06.2008, was patently illegal, since it was not preceded by any show cause notice or enquiry. Further, the relief granted by the 2nd respondent was totally improper. The petitioner was required to report to duty in Cantonment Depot of Hyderabad City Zone. The 2nd respondent does not have the jurisdiction to require an employee in his region to report to duty in another region. The petitioner is entitled to be reinstated into service as Driver on contract basis in Yemmiganur Depot itself. Therefore, the Writ Petition is allowed and the order, dated 30.08.2008, is set aside. The 1st respondent is directed to reinstate the petitioner as Driver on contract basis in Yemmiganur Depot forthwith. There shall be no order as to costs. ___________________ L.NARASIMHA REDDY, J.
