THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V. RAMULU WRIT PETITION NO.21502 of 2005 Dated 04-10-2005 Between: Sardar Mohd. Khan. …Petitioner And The Depot Manager, APSRTC, Hyderabad. … Respondent THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V. RAMULU WRIT PETITION NO.21502 of 2005 ORDER: The only grievance of the petitioner is that after retirement, though he has been paid with all the benefits, the gratuity for the period of nine years, for which period he was out of employment is not being paid. According to the learned counsel for the petitioner, the petitioner is entitled to continuity of service and other benefits as per the award dated 18-08-1984 in I.D.No.171 of 1980. As seen from the record, the original copy of the award dated 18-08-1984 made in I.D.No.171 of 1980 is not available. In view of the facts and circumstances of the case, without expressing any opinion on merits, I deem it appropriate to direct the respondents to consider the case of the petitioner. Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of directing the respondents to consider the case of the petitioner for payment of gratuity for the period of nine years if he is otherwise eligible as per said award dated 18-08-1984 in I.D.No.171 of 1980 within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. No costs. _________________ (C.V. RAMULU, J) Dated 04-10-2005 ghn
