This writ petition is filed seeking to declare the action of the respondents in not implementing the G.O.Ms.No.135, dated 30.8.1999 issued by the Government granting conveyance allowance to the Physically handicapped employees, as arbitrary and illegal. Admittedly, the petitioner is working in the respondent Corporation, and the G.O., which is now sought to be implemented, was issued by the Government. Therefore, the G.O. issued by the Government is not applicable to the Corporation, unless the Corporation adopts any government orders. In the counter it is stated that as per item-6 of Memorandum of Understanding reached between the R.T.C.Employees Unions, it was agreed to enhance the conveyance allowance to the physically handicapped employees from Rs.175/- to Rs.300/- per month vide circular No.PD-82/2001, dated 13.12.2001. Therefore, the petitioner is bound by the terms and conditions of circular issued by the respondent Corporation with regard to the payment of conveyance allowance. Since there is no allegation that the G.O., issued by the Government is adopted by the Corporation, the question of paying the conveyance allowance as per G.O. does not arise. Therefore, the writ petition is devoid of merits and is liable to be dismissed. Accordingly, the writ petition is dismissed. The interim direction dated 20.11.2003 shall stands vacated. No order as to costs. _____________ K.C.BHANU,J 22nd June, 2005. Mdaa Copy to: 1 The Managing Director, A.P. State Road Transport Corporation, Musheerabad, Hyderabad 2 The Work Manager, AP.
