Narasimha Rao, S/o. Ram Sastry, R/o. MIG, 188/6, Housing Board Colony, Bhavanipuram, Vijayawada - 12. ..... Petitioner AND 1 A.P.S.R.T.C., Rep. by its Vice Chairman & Managing Director, Mushirabad, Hyderabad and another. .....Respondents Counsel for the Petitioner: MRS.K.UDAYASRI FOR MR.G.VIDYASAGAR Counsel for the Respondents: MR.C.PRAKASH REDDY The Court made the following : ORDER: At the interlocutory stage, this writ petition is taken up for hearing and disposal with the consent of the learned counsel for the parties. This writ petition is filed for a writ of mandamus to set aside the proceedings dated 09.05.2000 issued by the Executive Director of respondent No.1-Corporation to the extent the petitioner was reversed to the post of Security Head Guard permanently and treating the period between the date of his removal and reinstatement as not on duty. The petitioner was appointed as a Watchman in respondent No.1 in the year 1967. In the year 1975 he was promoted as Security Head Guard. He was further promoted to the post of Security Assistant Sub Inspector in the year 1998. In the year 1998, the petitioner was entrusted with the work of verification of credentials of one K.Venkateswarlu, S/o.Srinivasulu for the purpose of issuing driving licence and it was found that the certificate issued by the petitioner was bogus one. A charge was issued on 05.01.1999, on which date, the petitioner was promoted as Security Assistant Sub Inspector. Later on, the petitioner’s promotion was cancelled and enquiry was conducted. On the basis of the enquiry report, the disciplinary authority removed the petitioner from service on 22.07.1999. The said order was questioned by the petitioner in W.P.No.16894 of 1999, which was disposed of by this Court by order dated 10.04.2000, wherein the petitioner was permitted to avail the remedy of appeal. Accordingly, the petitioner filed an appeal, which was disposed of by the appellate authority by order dated 09.05.2000, wherein it has set aside the removal order and reinstated the petitioner by reverting him as Security Head Guard permanently. It is this order, which is assailed in this writ petition. I have gone through the orders of the primary and appellate authorities. On the basis of the sound analysis of the evidence available on record, both the authorities have concurrently found that the petitioner issued a bogus certificate, on the basis of which driving licence was issued to one person by name Sri K.Venkateswarlu. Though the learned counsel for the petitioner made strenuous efforts to convince this Court that the findings of both the authorities are not based on proper evidence, I am afraid I cannot go into this issue. In the matters pertaining to disciplinary proceedings, the scope of judicial review under Article 226 of the Constitution of India is limited to examine whether the decision-making process suffered from any illegality or the employee was denied fair and proper opportunity to defend his case before the domestic Tribunal. As no averments have been raised in respect of both these aspects, it is not possible for this Court to re-appreciate the evidence and substitute its views to the views of the domestic Tribunal. For the above mentioned reasons, I do not find any illegality in the order impugned in this writ petition and the writ petition is accordingly dismissed. As a sequel to disposal of main petition, W.P.M.P.Nos.17829 of 2003 and 33609 of 2008 filed by the petitioner to fix an early date of hearing are dismissed as infructuous.
