By proceedings dated 13.06.1994 passed by the Corporation, the petitioner was removed from service on the ground of mis-conduct. Aggrieved by the same, the petitioner preferred an appeal before the 2nd respondent-Executive Director, Andhra Pradesh State Road Transport Corporation, Vizianagaram. By order dated 07.09.1994, the said appeal was allowed in part and the penalty of removal was set aside and re-instatement was ordered imposing the penalty of reversion to the post of Driver. Challenging the said order he filed this writ petition in the year 1999. As could be seen from the material available on record, the petitioner has retired from service on attaining the age of superannuation long back. Even on merits, on a careful consideration of the reasons assigned by the 2nd respondent, I am of the opinion that the said order modifying the penalty imposed against the petitioner was in accordance with law and warrants no interference by this Court. Accordingly, the Writ Petition is dismissed. No costs. ​_____________ Date: 17.03.2010 G. ROHINI, J. Ivd
