THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No. 11813 OF 2008 O R D E R: The petitioner joined the service of APSRTC as Conductor, in the year 1991, in Ranga Reddy Region. His services were regularized on 4.4.1992. The petitioner was transferred to Hyderabad City Region on 2.6.2001. His grievance is that though he has completed 12 years of uninterrupted service, he has not been extended the benefit of stagnation increment, as provided for under Circular dated 3.6.1989. He got issued a notice through an Advocate, and complains that no response is forthcoming. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and learned Standing Counsel for the respondents. If what is stated by the petitioner is true, he is entitled to be extended the benefit of stagnation increment. The mere fact that he has been transferred from one region to another, does not bring about any break in service. Be that as it may, once the petitioner has made a representation, claiming benefit of stagnation increment, the respondents are under obligation to consider the same and communicate their decision. Hence, the writ petition is disposed of, directing the respondents to pass appropriate orders on the notice, got issued by the petitioner, within a period of four weeks, from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. There shall be no order as to costs. ________________ 12th June 2008 PAN
