HONOURABLE SHRI DEVINDER GUPTA THE CHIEF JUSTICE AND HONOURABLE SHRI JUSTICE C.V.RAMULU W.A.1203 of 2003 Learned single judge disposed of the writ petition by granting relief to the respondent relying upon the ratio laid down in a Division Bench decision of this Court reported in APSRTC, KHAMMAM REGION v. P.NAGESWARA RAO.1 But, by that time i.e., when the writ petition came to be decided by the learned single judge, the Supreme Court in APSRTC v. S.NARSAGOUD2 had already reversed the ratio laid down in the aforesaid Division Bench decision of this Court. In view of the decision of the Supreme Court, the writ petition ought to have been dismissed. The Writ Appeal is accordingly allowed. The impugned order passed by the learned single judge is set aside and the writ petition is dismissed. ______________________ SHRI DEVINDER GUPTA,C.J. ________________ SHRI C.V.RAMULU,J DATED:18th JULY,2003 KHAN HONOURABLE SHRI DEVINDER GUPTA THE CHIEF JUSTICE AND HONOURABLE SHRI JUSTICE C.V.RAMULU W.A.1203 of 2003 (Judgment of the Division Bench By Honourable The Chief Justice).
