THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.26012 of 2011 ORDER: The petitioner is employed as a Conductor on contract basis in Jeedimetla Depot of A.P.S.R.T.C. The Depot Manager, respondent No.2 herein, issued proceedings, dated 21.07.2008, terminating her services on the ground that she remained absent unauthorisedly from 29.05.2008 to 21.07.2008. The same is challenged in this writ petition. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Standing Counsel for the respondents. The services of the petitioner, no doubt, are contractual in nature. However, even for that category of employees, the Regulations framed by the Corporation are applicable and the order of termination can be passed only after issuing notice and after conducting enquiry. Admittedly, in the instant case, no notice was issued to the petitioner, much less enquiry was conducted. Hence, the writ petition is allowed and the impugned order is set aside. Since the petitioner had approached this Court belatedly, she shall not be entitled to count any past service and respondent No.2 shall reinstate her into service as a fresh candidate. There shall be no order as to costs. _______________________ L.NARASIMHA REDDY,J Dt:16.09.2011. kdl
