THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE G.CHANDRAIAH W.P. No.6388 of 2011 ORDER: The case of the petitioner is that he was appointed as a Contract Conductor in the respondent Corporation on 08.06.2007, through due process of selection by the Selection Committee. While performing his duties, he was terminated from the service on the allegation of cash and ticket irregularity. An enquiry was conducted, without following any due process of law, by holding that he was guilty of the charge. Subsequently, against the order of termination, he preferred an appeal before the 3rd respondent, appellate authority, who ordered his re- engagement by his proceedings dated 06.04.2010 as a contact conductor afresh. Now, the grievance of the petitioner is that while issuing orders of re-engagement, the respondents did not extend the benefit of continuity of service. The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that this Court had considered the similar issue in W.P. No.5365 of 2011 and directed that the petitioner therein shall be entitled to the benefit of the service between the date of termination and the date of re-engagement, only for the purposes of regularization. Therefore, he seeks similar relief in the present writ petition. The learned standing counsel for the Corporation does not dispute the submission made by the learned counsel for the petitioner but, however, he requested to observe that the petitioner shall not be entitled to any monetary benefits on account of the service benefit. Having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case and the submissions made by the learned counsel on either side and this Court had considered the identical issue in W.P. No.5365 of 2011, following the same, this writ petition is disposed of directing that the petitioner shall be entitled to the benefit of the service between the date of termination and the date of re-engagement, only for the purpose of regularization. However, the petitioner shall not be entitled to any monetary benefits on account of the said benefit. Accordingly, with the above direction, this writ petition is disposed of. There shall be no order as to costs. ________________________ JUSTICE G.CHANDRAIAH Date: 28.03.2011 LSK
