HONOURABLE MS JUSTICE G.ROHINI Writ Petition No. 25940 of 2009 Date: 18.12.2009 Between: J.Pasha, Yacharam, Ranga Reddy District. … Petitioner And APSRTC, rep., by its Managing Director, Hyderabad and 2 others. … Respondents THE HON’BLE Ms. JUSTICE G.ROHINI Writ Petition No. 25940 of 2009 O R D E R: This writ petition is filed seeking a declaration that the action of the respondents in not regularising the petitioner’s services on par with his colleagues with effect from 01.08.1999 is arbitrary and illegal. I have heard the learned counsel for both the parties. It is not in dispute that aggrieved by the order of removal dated 12.10.1999, petitioner had earlier filed I.D.No.20 of 2006 on the file of the labour Court-I, A.P., Hyderabad and after hearing both the parties, an award was passed on 12.09.2008 directing reinstatement of the petitioner into service with continuity of service but without back-wages and attendant benefits. Accordingly, the petitioner has been reinstated into service. However, his services were not regularised with effect from 01.08.1999 i.e. on which date the services of similarly situated drivers were regularised. Aggrieved by the same, the present writ petition is filed. At the outset, the learned counsel for the petitioner has relied upon a decision of this Court in W.P.No.27144 of 2005 dated 15.11.2008. In the said case, the petitioner was removed from service on 21.04.1991 and an award was passed by the labour Court in his favour on 23.01.1996 directing reinstatement with continuity of service. Having taken into consideration the award of the labour Court directing reinstatement with continuity of service, this Court held that the petitioner therein shall be entitled for regularisation of his services by considering the period during which he was out of service. It is not disputed before this Court by the learned counsel for the Corporation that the order in W.P.No.27144 of 2005 has become final. The fact that the petitioner herein also stands on the same footing is not disputed. Accordingly, following the order in W.P.No.27144 of 2005, the writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the Corporation to consider the case of the petitioner for regularisation of his services by considering the continuity of service as ordered by the Labour Court in I.D.No.20 of 2006 by award dated 12.09.2008 and pass appropriate orders as expeditiously as possible, preferably within a period of two months from the date of receipt of this order. No costs. _____________ G. ROHINI,J. Date: 18.12.2009 KLP
