THE HON’BLE MR JUSTICE L. NARASIMHA REDDY W.P. No.31692 of 2010 ORDER: The petitioner is working as Conductor in the Siddipet Depot of A.P.S.R.T.C. A charge-sheet was issued to him on 20-11-2002, alleging that he re-issued a ticket, while conducting a service between Siddipet and Oblapur, on 10-11-2002. The petitioner submitted his explanation on 25-11-2002. Thereafter, an enquiry officer was appointed and he submitted a report on 29-01-2003. Taking the same into account, the Depot Manager, the 2nd respondent passed an order dated 15-03-2003, imposing the punishment of postponement of annual increment for a period of two years, with cumulative effect. The petitioner feels aggrieved by the same. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and learned Standing Counsel for the respondents. It is not in dispute that the service regulations framed by the Corporation provide for the departmental remedies of appeal and review, against an order passed, imposing punishment of an employee. The petitioner did not avail those remedies, and has straightaway filed this writ petition, that too, seven years after it was passed. This Court is not inclined to entertain the writ petition. It is accordingly dismissed. There shall be no order as to costs. ________________________ L. NARASIMHA REDDY, J. Dt.16-12-2010. KO
