RAMANA WRIT PETITION NO. 12473 of 2007 Order: This writ petition has been filed seeking to declare the action of the 1st respondent in not paying the terminal benefits to the petitioner as illegal, arbitrary and unjust and consequently to direct the respondents to consider the petitioner’s application dated 27.1.2007 to pay him the terminal benefits. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Standing Counsel for the 1st respondent-APSRTC and at their request, the writ petition is taken up for final disposal at the admission stage. The petitioner is an employee of the 1st respondent APSRTC. He was removed from service by the respondent vide proceedings dated 21.12.2006. However, his terminal benefits were not settled till now on the ground that he has to pay some amounts to the APSRTC Employees Credit Co-operative Society and to the A.P. State Trading Corporation Limited. The petitioner states that he is ready and willing to pay the amounts, which he is liable to pay to APSRTC Employees Credit Co-operative Society and to the A.P. State Trading Corporation, and the amounts due and liable to be paid to him, be deducted from out of the retrial benefits payable to him. The petitioner states that though he made a representation to the 1ST respondent-APSRTC on 27.1.2007, requesting to deduct the amounts payable by him from out of the terminal benefits, and pay the balance retrial benefits, till date no action thereon had been taken. Hence, he filed the present writ petition. Inasmuch as the petitioner has expressed his readiness and willingness to pay the amounts due and payable by him to the APSRTC Employees Co-operative Society and to the A.P. State Trading Corporation Limited, and has already made a representation to the 1st respondent, requesting him to deduct the amounts due and payable by him from out of the retrial benefits, and pay the balance retrial benefits, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the writ petition with the following directions: The 1st respondent-APSRTC is directed to consider and dispose of the representation dated 27.1.2007 of the petitioner forthwith, deduct the amounts, payable by the petitioner to the APSRTC Employees Credit Co-operative Society and A.P.
