IN THE HIGH COURT JUDICATURE, ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD WEDNESDAY, THE NINETH DAY OF NOVEMBER, TWO THOUSAND AND ELEVEN PRESENT THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE G.CHANDRAIAH W.P. No.29772 of 2011 Between: B.Thirupathaiah … Petitioner And The Regional Manager, A.P.S.R.T.C., Secunderabad Region, Secunderabad and another. … Respondents THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE G.CHANDRAIAH W.P. No.29772 of 2011 ORDER: The petitioner was appointed on contract basis as a Driver. After some time, he was terminated from service on the ground of absenteeism. Thereafter, he preferred an appeal and as the said appeal was rejected, he filed a review wherein, he was re-engaged. The limited grievance of the petitioner is that while issuing orders of re- engagement, the respondents did not extend the benefit of continuity of service. Now the respondents have prepared a list for regularization of the contract drivers wherein, his name has not been considered and considered the names of his juniors. Hence, he filed the present writ petition. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned standing counsel for the respondents Corporation. The learned counsel for the petitioner while placing a copy of the order dated 12.04.2010 passed in W.P. No.8090 of 2010, submitted that this Court had dealt with the identical issue and directed that the petitioner therein is entitled to the benefit of the service between the date of termination and the date of re-engagement. The learned standing counsel appearing for the respondents Corporation does not dispute the same. Therefore, following the same, this writ petition is allowed and it is directed that the petitioner shall be entitled to the benefit of the service rendered between the date of termination and the date of re- engagement. However, the petitioner shall not be entitled to any monetary benefits on account of the said benefit. No costs. _________________________ JUSTICE G.CHANDRAIAH Date: 09.11.2011 LSK
