HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE L. NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.28675 OF 2010 ORDER: Petitioner has been working as Driver in the Baptla Depot. He was subjected to medical examination on 27-05-2009. It was found that he is not fit to discharge the functions of A-1 category Driver. Therefore, he made an application to the respondents on 08-12-2009 with a request to provide him alternative employment. His grievance is that no action has been taken thereon. 2. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Standing Counsel for the respondents. 3. The Corporation issued circulars to the effect that whenever a driver is found medically unfit, he shall be entitled to be provided alternative employment or he can claim additional monitory benefits. As a matter of fact, the provision of alternative employment is an obligation, under Section 47 of the Persons with Disabilities (Equal Opportunities, Protection of Rights and Full Participation) Act, 1995. Petitioner had chosen to remain in employment, but in a different post. The 3rd respondent is under obligation to accede to the request of the petitioner, be it under the circulars or under the Act. More than one year has elapsed, ever since the petitioner made representation. 4. Hence, the Writ Petition is disposed of, directing the 3rd respondent to provide alternative employment to the petitioner, in terms of the circulars issued by the Corporation, within a period of four (4) weeks from today. There shall be no order as to costs. ____________________ L. NARASIMHA REDDY, J November 29, 2010. Note: Furnish C.C. in one week. B/O.KTL
