THE HON’BLE Ms. JUSTICE G. ROHINI Writ Petition No. 12847 of 1999 Dated: 17.03.2010 Between: K.Ramachandra Reddy … Petitioner And Andhra Pradesh State Road Transport Corporation, Hyderabad and 2 others. … Respondents THE HON'BLE Ms. JUSTICE G.ROHINI Writ Petition No. 12847 of 1999 O R D E R : This writ petition is filed seeking a declaration that the action of the A.P. State Road Transport Corporation in retiring the petitioner from service on medical grounds without providing an alternative job as arbitrary, illegal and opposed to the provisions of the Persons with Disabilities (Equal Opportunity Protection of Rights and Full Participation) Act, 1995. In the counter affidavit filed on behalf of the respondents, it is explained that since the petitioner was unfit for A-1 category, he was retired on medical grounds as per Regulation 6-A of A.P.S.R.T.C. Employees Service Regulations, which provides for retirement due to failure to conform to the requisite standards of physical fitness. So far as the petitioner’s claim for alternative employment under the provisions of the Persons with Disabilities (Equal Opportunity Protection of Rights and Full Participation) Act, 1995, which came into force with effect from 07.02.1996, it is stated that there was neither a plea nor any proof that the petitioner was suffering from not less than 40% disability so as to claim the protection under the said Act. Having heard both parties and having perused the material available on record, particularly in view of the stand taken by the Corporation which stood un-controverted, I do not find any justifiable ground to issue the Mandamus as prayed for. Accordingly, the Writ Petition is disposed of with a direction to the Corporation to extend all the monetary benefits to which the petitioner is entitled to under Regulation 6-A of the Regulations, if not already paid. No costs. ______________ G. ROHINI, J. Date: 17.03.2010 KLP
