THE HON’BLE MR JUSTICE L. NARASIMHA REDDY Writ Petition No.21947 of 2011 ORDER: The petitioner was appointed as a Driver in the A.P.S.R.T.C. on 27-01-1996. In the enquiry that was undertaken as to the genuinity of the driving licence, it emerged that the one, produced by the petitioner was not genuine. Through orders dated 18-02-1997, the Depot Manager, Nandikotkur, the 3rd respondent herein directed removal of the petitioner. After exhausting departmental remedies, the petitioner raised an industrial dispute before the Labour Court, Ananthapur, and the same was taken up as I.D.No.298 of 2002. Through award dated 19-06-2004, the Labour Court has set aside the order of removal and directed appointment of the petitioner as driver, afresh. The petitioner feels aggrieved by the denial of relief of continuity of service and backwages. Heard Sri S.M. Subhan, learned counsel for the petitioner and Sri W.V.S. Rajeswari, learned counsel for the respondents. The petitioner does not dispute the fact that the driving licence produced by him, while seeking employment, was not a genuine one. Obviously on account of the need to employ large number of drivers, the Corporation evolved a pattern that, in case the drivers obtain a licence at a subsequent stage, their cases can be considered for appointment of drivers, afresh. Taking this and other aspects into account, the Labour Court granted the relief of appointment as driver, afresh, to the petitioner. But for the indulgence shown by the Labour Court, the petitioner would have been liable for other steps for procuring a fake licence. The learned counsel for the petitioner is not able to point out any legal or factual defect in the award passed by the Labour Court. The writ petition is accordingly dismissed. There shall be no order as to costs. ________________________ L. NARASIMHA REDDY, J. Dt.04-08-2011. KO
