THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE B.PRAKASH RAO And THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE RAMESH RANGANATHAN WRIT PETITION NO.9653 of 2006 8th June 2006 Between: 1. The Secretary to Government, Agriculture and Cooperation Department, Secretariat, Hyderabad. And two others. …PETITIONERS AND P.S.K.V.Prasad Rao, Typist, R/o.1-64, Mathavanagar Post, Nizamabad. …RESPONDENT THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE B.PRAKASH RAO And THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE RAMESH RANGANATHAN WRIT PETITION NO.9653 of 2006 ORDER: (Per the Hon’ble Mr Justice B.Prakash Rao) Heard the learned Government Pleader for Services I. The petitioners, who are the respondents before the Andhra Pradesh Administrative Tribunal (‘the Tribunal’ for brevity), seek to assail the order dated 16.08.2005 in O.A.No.2042 of 2002 on the file of the Tribunal allowing the relief sought for to the respondent in regard to certain benefits as extended to him with similarly placed employees and also as amended by the Tribunal itself. There is no serious dispute on the part of the petitioners herein that in the similar circumstances, benefits have been extended to by the Government itself as long back as on 29.11.1967 as per G.O.Ms.No.1002 as referred to in the order. The Tribunal also allowed certain benefits, which have been allotted to those similarly situated employees. Considering the submissions made on either side and on perusal of the material available on record, we are of the view that absolutely there is no reason to discriminate the respondent with the other employees who have been extended similar benefits. Hence, we do not find any merits in the Writ Petition. Accordingly, the Writ Petition is dismissed. No costs. _________________ (B.PRAKASH RAO, J) _______________________ (RAMESH RANGANATHAN, J) 8th June 2006 RRB
