HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.RAMULU WRIT PETITION No.17762 of 2009 ORDER: It appears that while the petitioner was working as a driver, he was imposed with a punishment of stoppage of two increments with cumulative effect without conducting any enquiry. The same was subject matter of a writ petition before this Court in W.P.No.7989 of 2006. This Court held that such a major punishment could not have been imposed without conducting a regular enquiry. However, the punishment was modified to that of stoppage of annual increment for a period of two years without cumulative effect. It was further made clear that the petitioner shall not be entitled to any monetary benefit arising out of the order, but shall be entitled to fixation of pay only. The said order was passed on 20/04/2006. The complaint of the petitioner is that though the writ petition was allowed modifying the said order, his two increments were not restored immediately after completion of two years period and from the date of passing of the said order. Learned counsel for the respondent submits that as early as on 31/08/2009, the Senior Law Officer, APSRTC, addressed a letter to the Regional Manager, APSRTC, Guntur Region, to re-fix the pay of the petitioner and arrange to pay the settlement amounts of the petitioner and send a report of compliance. But till date, it appears the said order is not implemented. He further states that if the order is not implemented, it will be implemented within a period of four weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. Accordingly, the Writ Petition is disposed of. No order as to costs. __________________ JUSTICE C.V. RAMULU 21st April, 2010 SKM
