THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY DATED: 15-09-2005 WRIT PETITION No.20343 of 2005 Between: T.Kistaiah . . .Petitioner And The Chairman and Managing Director, APCPDCL, Hyderabad . . .Respondent THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.20343 of 2005 O R D E R: The petitioner was appointed as Telephonic Operator in the then A.P. State Electricity Board in 1967. Thereafter, he was promoted as Switch Board Operator. He continued in that post till 10-12-1996 and later, he was absorbed in the post of Line Inspector. The grievance of the petitioner is that several persons, who were promoted as Switch Board Operators and thereafter, redesignated as Line Inspectors, have been extended the benefit of regularization with effect from 01-11-1990, whereas in his case, the regularization is made with effect from 10-12-1996. He claims to have made number of representations and asserts that the General Manager, A.P. TRANSCO, has in fact, recommended his case for extension of the said benefit, through letter dated 31-07-2002. His grievance is that no action has been taken thereon. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Standing Counsel for the respondent. The petitioner has already retired from service. His limited grievance is about the regularization of his services as Line Inspector with effect from 01-11-1990. For one reason or the other, the petitioner did not work out his remedies, while in service. At present, the regularization with effect from the said date, if at all, would have any bearing on the retirement benefits. The question as to whether the petitioner is entitled to such benefit needs to be considered by the respondent. The very fact that the General Manager has recommended his case through his letter dated 31-07-2002 discloses that the matter needs proper attention and disposal, without any further delay. Hence, the writ petition is disposed of directing the respondent to consider the representation of the petitioner in the light of the letter dated 31-07-2002 addressed by the General Manager and pass appropriate orders within two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. It shall be open to the petitioner to make a fresh representation, enclosing the relevant documents. _________________________ (L.NARASIMHA REDDY, J) 15th SEPTEMBER, 2005.
