It is also the case of the petitioner that, consequent to the accident that occurred on 17.08.2006, FIR No.177 of 2006 was registered on the ﬁle of P.S. Zaheerabad against the petitioner, which is tried vide C.C.No.367 of 2006 on the ﬁle of the Judicial Magistrate of the First Class, Zaheerabad. By judgment dated 06.10.2010, the learned Magistrate acquitted the petitioner for the charges levelled against him. Therefore, the petitioner ﬁled an appeal before the 1st respondent-Executive Director, seeking review of the order passed against him. In response to the said appeal, the 1st respondent, by letter dated 10.05.2011, directed the petitioner to present the appeal before the 2nd respondent-Dy.CTM-APSRTC, Sanga Reddy, Medak District. In compliance of the said directive of the 1st respondent, the petitioner presented the appeal before the 2nd respondent on 25.05.2011 which is pending on his file. The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that consequent to the removal of the petitioner from service, he is out of employment from 2006 and, since the criminal case registered against the petitioner resulted in acquittal of the petitioner, the petitioner is entitled for reconsideration of his case. It is not in dispute that the petitioner preferred an appeal before the 1st respondent on 09.02.2001, and the 1st respondent directed him to present the appeal before the 2nd respondent, and the petitioner presented the appeal before the 2nd respondent on 25.05.2011.
