THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE N.V.RAMANA Writ Petition No.25645 of 2006 Dated:12 December, 2006 Between: M.Eswaraiah. …..PETITIONER AND The Regional Manager, APSRTC., Thirupati, Chittoor district and another. ….RESPONDENTS THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE N.V.RAMANA W.P.No.25645 of 2006 ORDER: Petitioner was appointed as a casual driver in the respondents’ corporation in the year 1996 and worked as such till he was terminated on 15-1-1998 on the ground that he got employment by producing bogus driving license. Petitioner against the said termination orders dated 15-1-1998 approached the labour court. The labour court vide award dated 15-5-2003, based on the scheme introduced by the respondent giving an opportunity to the drivers who produced the non- genuine driving license, directed the respondent to appoint the petitioner as fresh driver on production of genuine driving license. Pursuant to the award of the labour court on 15-8-2004 petitioner was reappointed as fresh casual driver. It is the grievance of the petitioner that some of his batch mates who were terminated on the allegation of producing bogus license were appointed in a regular vacancy even though the labour court directed the respondents to give them fresh appointment, but he has been deprived of the same. Petitioner made a representation on 22-3- 2006 to the respondents to regularize his service on par with others and the same was not considered till date. Having heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Standing Counsel for the respondents/APSRTC, and having regard to the fact that the representation dated 22-3-2006 made by the petitioner seeking to regularize his service on par with his batch mates who were terminated on the allegation of producing bogus license and were appointed in a regular vacancy despite the labour court directing to give fresh appointment, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the writ petition with the following directions: The 1st respondent/Regional Manager, APSRTC, Tirupathi, Chittoor district is directed to consider and dispose of the representation dated 22-3-2006, expeditiously, within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of with the above directions. No costs. ___________________ (N.V. RAMANA, J.) Dt.12-12-2006 grk
