THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V. RAMULU W.P. No. 16232 of 2010 O R D E R: It appears, petitioner is working as Conductor in 2nd respondent-Depot, Atmakur, Nellore District. While that being so, he was proceeded with departmentally in the year 2005 and an order of punishment was passed, imposing punishment of stoppage of two annual grade increments without cumulative effect, by an order dated 15.11.2005. Aggrieved thereby, petitioner preferred appeal before the Divisional Manager, Nellore. The Divisional Manager, Nellore, on considering the appeal, by an order dated 13.7.2006, reduced the said punishment to that of deferment of annual increment for a period of one year, which shall have no effect on his future increments. Now, the grievance of the petitioner is that though the punishment as awarded by the disciplinary on 15.11.2005 was modified by the appellate authority vide order dated 13.7.2006, till date the increments as per his eligibility are not restored. In this regard, he made a detailed representation before the respondents on 15.4.2009 and the same is still pending. Under those circumstances, without expressing any opinion on merits, 2nd respondent is directed to consider and pass appropriate orders on the representation purported to have been made by the petitioner on 15.4.2009, as per law, within a period of six weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order and communicate the same to the petitioner. The writ petition is disposed of accordingly. No order as to costs. JUSTICE C.V. RAMULU. Date: 9-7-2010. MVB.
