THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.23843 of 2010 ORDER: The petitioner was working as driver in APSRTC on permanent basis with effect from 01.07.1991. He was removed from service on disciplinary grounds through an order dated 28.11.1996 passed by the second respondent. The order of removal was set aside by the Labour Court in I.D.No.16 of 2000 through an award dated 31.01.2003, with continuity of service and attendant benefits. On the basis of the award he was reinstated into service on 20.03.2003. The petitioner contends that he has completed 12 years of service on 01.07.2003, and according to the Circulars in vogue, he is entitled to be extended the benefit of stagnation increment. He also states that the increment which was due to him was denied stating these and other facts. The petitioner submitted representation to the third respondent on 21.07.2010 and contends that no action has been taken thereon. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned Standing Counsel for the respondents. There was abnormal delay on the part of the petitioner himself in making the representation. All the same, it needs to be examined by the respondents. The question as to whether the petitioner is entitled to the benefit of stagnation increment or he was denied any other benefits need to be examined. Hence, the writ petition is disposed of directing the third respondent-the Depot Manager, Sangareddy, Medak District, to pass appropriate orders on the representation, dated 21.07.2010 made by the petitioner within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. There shall be no order as to costs. _____________________________ JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY 27th September 2010 dr
