Road, Hyderabad and another .....Respondents The Court made the following : JUDGMENT: (per the Hon’ble Sri Justice Ghulam Mohammed) Aggrieved by the order dated 24.07.2009 passed by the learned Single Judge disposing of the W.P. No. 15594 of 2004 directing the second respondent Corporation to reinstate the petitioner as Conductor afresh without back wages or attendant benefits, the writ petitioner is in appeal. The appellant was appointed as a Conductor in the respondent Corporation on 31.5.1990. On 13.7.1998 a check was exercised while he was conducting a bus and a charge Memo came to be served on him and he was placed under suspension on 20.7.1998. In culmination of the enquiry, the appellant was served with a show cause notice dated 27.10.1998 proposing to remove him from service and by order dated 18.11.1998, he was removed from service which was confirmed by the revisional and appellate authorities. Aggrieved by the same, the appellant raised an Industrial Dispute in I.D. No. 33 of 2002 and the Industrial Tribunal, Hyderabad, passed an exparte award on 22.12.2003 holding that the order of removal is justified. Aggrieved thereby, the appellant filed the above writ petition and the learned Single Judge by the order impugned disposed of the writ petition directing the petitioner to reinstate the appellant afresh without back wages or attendant benefits and in respect of the service from 1990 to 1998 put in by the appellant was directed to be reckoned only for the purpose of terminal benefits. Hence, the present Writ Appeal by the petitioner. Learned Standing Counsel for the respondent Corporation has submitted that since the appellant was reinstated into service afresh, the relevant pay scale in the APSRTC Revised Pay Scales applicable to the Conductor Grade II would be 6570-185-9345-200-9945-210-11205- 225-12105-235-12810-245-15750-250-18000 and at the minimum, he would get Rs.9200/-. The learned Single Judge has considered the submissions and held that since the charges are trivial in nature and since the appellant has put in eight years of service, ordered for reinstatement as stated above. We do not find any infirmity in the order impugned. Consequently, with the modification in the order impugned, as stated above, the writ appeal fails and is accordingly dismissed. No order as to cost. _______________________ Justice Ghulam Mohammed __________________________ Justice Nooty Rama Mohana Rao December 26, 2011 MAS
