THE HON’BLE Ms. JUSTICE G. ROHINI Writ Petition No. 18235 of 2009 Dated: 02.02.2010 Between: K.V.N.Murthy, Visakhapatnam District. … Petitioner And The APSRTC Rep., by its Managing Director, Hyderabad and 3 others. … Respondents THE HON'BLE Ms. JUSTICE G.ROHINI Writ Petition No. 18235 of 2009 O R D E R : Heard both sides and perused the material available on record including the counter affidavit filed on behalf of the respondents. It is not in dispute that the petitioner opted for voluntary retirement and submitted a letter to that effect on 05.09.2007. However, it is claimed that subsequently by letter dated 31.10.2007 the petitioner had withdrawn his option and requested the 4th respondent to continue him in service. It is alleged that without considering his letter dated 31.10.2007, the petitioner was retired on the afternoon of 22.11.2007. Aggrieved by the same, the present writ petition is filed. In the counter affidavit filed on behalf of the respondents, it is contended that in his letter dated 31.10.2007 the petitioner had only requested to continue him in serve for two months on his personal reasons and the plea of the petitioner that he had withdrawn his option for voluntary retirement was not correct. From the records placed before this Court by the learned standing counsel for the Corporation, it is observed that in the letter of the petitioner dated 31.10.2007, certain interpolations were made and the words (two months) appear to have been inserted subsequently. Since it is not possible for this Court to make any enquiry into such a disputed question of fact, I deem it appropriate to direct the Managing Director of the Corporation to make a detailed enquiry into the petitioner’s claim that he had withdrawn his option for VRS even before the same was accepted. Such enquiry shall be made after giving due opportunity of personal hearing to the petitioner and appropriate orders shall be passed thereupon as expeditiously as possible, preferably within a period of four weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. The Writ Petition is accordingly disposed of. No costs. _____________ G. ROHINI, J. Date: 02.02.2010 KLP
