THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.RAMULU W.P.No.18249 of 2009 ORAL ORDER: This writ petition is filed seeking a direction to the respondent to pay an amount of Rs.74,251/- with interest, which was not included in the cheque No.846739 dated 29.8.2008, wherein the amount was shown as Rs.5,13,126/-. According to the petitioner, since he became medically unfit to hold the post of Driver, he retired from service and thereafter, in lieu of alternative employment, he was paid monetary benefits vide cheque No.846739 dated 29.8.2008 amounting to Rs.5,13,126/-. However the complaint of the petitioner is that when he was given cheque, the amount was shown as Rs.4,38,875/- and not Rs.5,13,126/-. Hence this writ petition. The respondents have filed a detailed counter. At paragraph No. 6 of the said counter, it is stated that under the additional monetary benefits scheme, petitioner was eligible for an amount of Rs.5,13,126/- in lieu of alternative employment. However, he was paid an amount of Rs.4,38,875/- after deducting an amount of Rs.74,251/- which was due by the petitioner to the APSRTC Cooperative Credit Society towards loan taken by him and the said amount was deducted as per the request of the Secretary, APSRTC Cooperative Credit Society Ltd. Thus, it cannot be said that the petitioner was entitled to be paid an amount of Rs.5,13,126/-. The respondents after deducting loan amount of Rs.74,251/-, have paid the remaining amount of Rs.4,38,875/- to the petitioner. The writ petition is devoid of merits and liable to be dismissed. Accordingly, the writ petition is dismissed. No order as to costs. ______________ C.V.RAMULU, J Date: 2.6.2010 DA THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.RAMULU W.P.No.18249 of 2009 2.6.2010 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE OF ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.RAMULU W.P.No.18249 of 2009 Date: 2nd June, 2010 Between: R.G.S.
