THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.24020 of 2010 ORDER: The petitioner was appointed as a Driver, by selection, on 27.02.1996. Within about one year thereafter, he was imposed punishment of deferment of regularisation twice for a period of 1 ½ years put together. The petitioner approached this Court by filing W.P.No.24444 of 2002 feeling aggrieved by the same. The writ petition was allowed on 14.07.2005 and the order challenged therein was set aside. It was left open for the Corporation to pass appropriate orders in accordance with law. Thereafter, the Corporation passed orders on 21.12.2005 imposing the punishment of deferment of annual increment for a period of 18 months without cumulative effect. On the same day, an Office Order was issued regularising the services of the petitioner with effect from 01.01.2005. The petitioner contends that all the drivers who were appointed along with him were regularised with effect from the date of their initial appointment and such a treatment was not accorded to him. Therefore, he made a representation dated 25.07.2005 in this regard and seeks direction to the respondents to dispose of the same. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and learned Standing Counsel for the respondents. The services of the petitioner were not regularised with effect from the date on which he was initially appointed on the ground that punishment of deferment of his regularisation was imposed in the year 1997. Those orders, however, were set aside. It is a different matter that the Corporation imposed the punishment of deferment of increment by 1 ½ years without cumulative effect. That, obviously, did not have any effect upon the petitioner’s right on par with the other drivers. This, however, is a matter which needs to be taken into account by the respondents. Since the view taken by the respondents on the representation, dated 25.07.2005, made by the petitioner would have impact on the pay structure and other benefits, an early disposal thereof is warranted. Hence, the writ petition is disposed of, directing the second respondent to pass appropriate orders on the representation, dated 25.07.2005, made by the petitioner within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. There shall be no order as to costs. ______________________________ JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY 28th September 2010 dr
