THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.19887 OF 2005 Dt: 09.09.2005 Between: B. Anjanappa .. Petitioner AND The Regional Transport Officer, Gowlipura, Hyderabad, RR District. .. Respondent THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.19887 OF 2005 ORDER: The petitioner claims to have obtained a heavy vehicle driving licence in the year 1986 from the Regional Transport Officer-cum-Licensing Authority, Mumbai (W) Maharastra and secured employment with the APSRTC. His contention is that the file relating to his driving licence has since been transferred through the office of RTA, Ranga Reddy at Gowlipura, Hyderabad South Zone. It is also alleged that after such transfer, the RTA, Ranga Reddy, had renewed the licence on 16.05.2005 up to 15.05.2008. It is stated that the petitioner had been removed from service on the ground that the driving licence produced by him is not genuine. The grievance of the petitioner is that though he made a representation to the respondent for certifying the genuinity of his driving licence, no action has been taken thereon. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader for Transport. It is the specific case of the petitioner that he obtained the driving licence in the year 1986 from the State of Maharastra and that the relevant file has been transferred to the office of the respondent. Reference is made to the renewal of the licence on 16.05.2005. The necessity for the petitioner to seek certification of his driving licence arose on account of the disciplinary proceedings initiated against him. The respondent can certainly verify the record and certify whether they have renewed the licence of the petitioner at all. The matter cannot be kept pending indefinitely. For the foregoing reasons, the writ petition is disposed of directing the respondent to consider the application of the petitioner for verification of the genuinity of his driving licence and pass appropriate orders, within two weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. No order as to costs. __________________________ 09.09.2005 Note:- Issue CC in 4 days. B/o. ES
