HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No. 22770 OF 2010. DATED 17TH SEPTEMBER, 2010. BETWEEEN P.Saraswathi …Petitioner And The APSRTC, Bus Bhavan, Hyderabad, Rep. By its Managing Director and ors. . …..Respondents. HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No. 22770 OF 2010. ORDER: The petitioner was initially appointed in Class IV service in Tirupathi Depot-I of APSRTC. She was promoted as Record Tracer, on 17.1.1990. The respondents extended Special Grade Scale to the petitioner with eﬀect from 1.1.2004. The petitioner is due to retire from service on 31.12.2011. It is stated that the respondents have taken steps to withdraw the Special Grade Scale, and to certain extent, recovery was also eﬀected. The petitioner challenges the proceedings dated 19.10.2009 through which, the third respondent was informed to withdraw the Special Grade Scales sanctioned to Record Tracers, who do not possess SSC or its equivalent qualiﬁcation. The name of the petitioner is ﬁgured in it, and the same is challenged. Heard Sri V.Jagapathi, learned Counsel for the petitioner and Smt. W.V.S.Rajeswari, learned Standing Counsel for the respondents-Corporation. It is not clear as to the basis on which, the Special Grade Scale extended to the petitioner was withdrawn. The learned Standing Counsel for the Corporation submitted that such Special Grade Scale is extendible to only those employees, who possess SSC qualiﬁcation, and did not secure any promotion for the past twelve years. Admittedly, the petitioner does not possess SSC qualiﬁcation. However, the respondents have not furnished the reasons for stopping the Special Grade Scale to the petitioner. Hence, the Writ Petition is disposed of, directing that the respondents shall indicate the reasons for stopping the Special Grade Scale to the petitioner, within a period of two weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. It is, however, made clear that, in case the petitioner is found not eligible to extend Special Grade Scale, the respondents shall recover the amount which has already been paid to her. There shall be no order as to costs. ------------------------------------------------ JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY 17T H SEPTEMBER, 2010. Msnr.
