THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION NO : 27367 of 2005 Dated 28-12-2005 Between: S.C. N. Valli S/o Meeravalli Mydukur Depot, Mydukur, Kadapa District ..... PETITIONER AND Managing Director, APSRTC., Musheerabad, Hyderabad .....RESPONDENT THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION NO. 27367 of 2005 ORDER: The petitioner was employed as a Driver in the A.P.S.R.T.C in the year 1986. He was rendered medically unfit, with effect from 30-06-2005, before he atttained the age of superannuation. Petitioner contends that the action of the respondent is illegal and arbitrary, inasmuch as the respondent has not extended the benefit of any alternative employment, or other monetory benefits. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and learned Standing Counsel for the respondent. The A.P.S.R.T.C. issued a circular dated 08-10-2003, providing for a set of benefits, for the Drivers, who are rendered medically unfit. It could not be enforced immediately, since the Government did not accord its approval. The Government had since accorded the approval through their order dated 24-06-2005. Consequently, the Corporation also issued a circular dated 26-08-2005, providing various kinds of benefits. The petitioner is entitled to be extended such benefits. There is no justification on the part of the respondent in not extending the same. Hence, the writ petition is disposed of, directing the respondent to consider the case of the petitioner in terms of the circular dated 26-08-2005, and extend the benefits thereunder, to the petitioner, within a period of one month from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. There shall be no order as to costs. ______________________ L. NARASIMHA REDDY, J. Dt.28-12-2005 KO
