No. 279 of 1999 dated 30-3-2002 as illegal. The petitioner was employed in the respondent corporation as Driver having been appointed on 3.8.1990. He was issued with a charge sheet dated 16.5.1998 alleging production of non-genuine driving licence. Having not satisfied with the explanation offered by the petitioner, an enquiry was ordered and petitioner was removed from service vide order dated 19.9.1998. The appeal filed by the petitioner was also rejected. Questioning the same, petitioner raised an industrial dispute in I.D No. 279 of 1999 on the file of the Industrial Tribunal cum Labour Court, Anantapur. The labour Court on consideration of the matter, passed an award dated 30.3.2002 dismissing the petition. Hence, the present writ petition. When the matter is taken up for hearing, learned counsel for petitioner submitted that cases of similarly situated drivers who are issued with similar charge sheets alleging production of fake driving licences were considered in terms of circular of the corporation dated 31.8.2000 and that the petitioner wants to avail the said remedy by pursuing the matter with the authorities concerned. In view of the above statement of the learned counsel for petitioner, without going into the merits of the matter, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the writ petition permitting the petitioner to avail the remedies available under law, including the circular dated 31.8.2000. If any such application is filed, it is open for the authorities concerned to consider the same and pass appropriate orders in accordance with law. Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of. No costs. ____________ N.V.RAMANA,J DATE: 14.3.2007 TVK THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE N.V. RAMANA WRIT PETITION NO : 20385 of 2005 DATED: 14.3.2007
