HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE V. ESWARAIAH WRIT PETITON No.12974 of 2000 ORDER: This Writ Petition is filed seeking a Writ of Mandamus declaring the action of the respondent-Corporation in recovering the fine amount of Rs.1,000/- every month from the salary of the petitioner as illegal and arbitrary and, consequently, direct the respondent-Corporation to refund the amount of Rs.8,500/- recovered towards fine with interest. It is the case of the petitioner that he was appointed as a driver in the Andhra Pradesh State Road Transport Corporation (APSRTC) on 01.07.1987. While so, recovery proceedings have been initiated towards the fine and DEB amounting to Rs.7,000/-, as is evident from the pay slip of the petitioner for the month of May, 2000. It is stated that the said recovery was made from November, 1999 and had recovered a total sum of Rs.8,500/- at the rate of Rs.1,000/- per month. The Writ Petition was filed only in the month of July, 2000. The grievance of the petitioner is that the said recovery, towards the alleged fine, was without notice and without affording any opportunity to him. The fine or recovery of any penalty cannot be made without following the CCA Regulations of the Corporation. Admittedly, the petitioner has not made any representation questioning the alleged illegal recovery. If that be so, no Mandamus can be issued without any representation being made by the petitioner. Neither the learned Counsel for the respondent is present nor he has chosen to file counter affidavit. Having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the Writ Petition permitting the petitioner to file a representation, within a period of two weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of the order, ventilating his grievance and, on such a representation being made, the same may be disposed of within four weeks thereafter in accordance with law. The Writ Petition is, accordingly, disposed of. No order as to costs. V. ESWARAIAH,J Date:16.12.2010 usd
