HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE GHULAM MOHAMMED AND HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE NOOTY RAMAMOHANA RAO WRIT APPEAL NO. 1404 OF 2011 Between: A.P. State Road Transport Corporation, represented by its Executive Director, Mahatma Gandhi Bus Station, Hyderabad and three others ………….PETITIONERS AND M. Koteswara Rao, S/o Veeraiah, APSRTC ………….Respondent JUDGMENT: (Per Hon'ble Sri Justice Ghulam Mohammed) This Writ Appeal is directed against the order dated 25.11.2009 passed in W.P.No. 6316 of 2006 by the learned Single Judge of this Court allowing the writ petition instituted by the appellants herein. Brief facts of the case are that the respondent herein has retired from service of the APSRTC on 30.06.2005 and he filed Writ Petition challenging the order dated 31.5.2005 passed by the second appellant, wherein the request of the respondent to take into consideration the period from 9.11.1995 to 24.5.1997 for the purpose of computing earned leave was rejected. The learned Single Judge following the order of this Court in W.P.No. 17438 of 2001 dated 18.3.2002, wherein this Court had directed the Corporation to treat the removal period as qualified service for the purpose of payment of gratuity and earned leave, calculate the amount payable to the petitioner therein and release the same within a period of three months, allowed the Writ Petition by setting aside the impugned order dated 31.5.2005 directing the appellants herein to calculate the leave encashment as well as gratuity to which the respondent is entitled to for the period from 9.11.1995 to 24.5.1997 and release the same within a period of eight weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of that order. Though the Corporation preferred an Appeal (WA.No. 1125 of 2002), the same was dismissed and even the Special Leave Petition (SLP (C) NO. 22830 of 2003), preferred before the Supreme Court, was also dismissed by order dated 12.12.2003. Hence, we see no reasons to interfere with the order passed by the learned Single Judge. Accordingly, the Writ Appeal is dismissed. There shall be no order as to costs. ________________________ GHULAM MOHAMMED, J _______________________________ NOOTY RAMAMOHANA RAO, J DATE: 29.12.2011 KA ...
