THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.28911 of 2009 ORDER: The petitioner joined the services of the Andhra Pradesh State Road Transport Corporation as Junior Clerk on 10.01.1975. When he was working as Superintendent (Material), he was removed from service through order, dated 30.01.1997, on the ground of unauthorized absence. In the appeal filed against the order, the relief of reinstatement into service was granted by imposing a condition that the petitioner shall report to duty within seven days. Since, he did not comply with this condition, the order passed by the appellate authority was cancelled/withdrawn on 26.12.2003. Representations were pending and ultimately, the petitioner approached this Court by filing W.P.No.8681 of 2009. The writ petition was dismissed on 27.04.2009. The petitioner states that he was paid the provident fund and other benefits and the interest thereon was not paid. The respondents filed a counter-affidavit denying their obligation to pay the interest. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Standing Counsel for the respondents. The entitlement of the petitioner to receive the provident fund and other benefits accrued on 30.01.1997 when he was removed from service. The amounts could not be paid on account of the pendency of the appeal and the order of removal was set aside on 11.07.2002. However, the petitioner did not reap the benefit of that and the order passed by the appellate authority stood cancelled. The matter reached finality or assumed quietus only in April 2009 when W.P.No.8681 of 2009 was dismissed. Under these circumstances, it is difficult to hold that there was undue delay on the part of the respondents. Be that as it may, even if the petitioner is otherwise entitled to be paid interest, he could have made out his grievance in the writ petition filed by him. He cannot file a separate writ petition claiming interest. The writ petition is accordingly dismissed. There shall be no order as to costs. _______________________ L.NARASIMHA REDDY,J Dt: 13.12.2010. kdl
