HONOURABLE MS JUSTICE G.ROHINI WRIT PETITION No.14265 of 2009 Date: 14.09.2009 Between: I.Sai Baba, Kamareddy, Nizamabad. … Petitioner And The A.P. State Transport Corporation, Rep., by its Vice Chairman & Managing Director, Musheerabad, Hyderabad and another. … respondents HONOURABLE MS JUSTICE G.ROHINI WRIT PETITION No.14265 of 2009 ORDER: This writ petition is filed seeking a declaration that the order of the 2nd respondent dated 26.07.2008 fixing the basic pay of the petitioner and directing recovery of the alleged excess payments made to the petitioner as arbitrary and illegal. The petitioner had earlier filed W.P.No.9558 of 2002 aggrieved by the very same action of the respondents and the said writ petition was disposed of by order dated 28.10.2002 holding that the rejection of the pay scale by the respondent authorities was in utter violation of principals of natural justice. Accordingly, while setting aside the order impugned in the said writ petition, it was left open to the Corporation to pass fresh order fixing the pay scale in accordance with law after giving an opportunity to the petitioner to make his representation. The grievance of the petitioner is that in spite of the specific directions of this Court, the Corporation failed to give any opportunity to the petitioner to make his representation. A perusal of the impugned order dated 26.07.2008 itself shows that re-fixation of the pay was made unilaterally by the Corporation without issuing any notice to the petitioner as directed by this Court in W.P.No.9558 of 2002. The said fact could not be disputed by the learned counsel appearing for the Corporation. In the circumstances, the impugned order dated 26.07.2008 is hereby set aside and the writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the respondents to pass appropriate orders afresh strictly in terms of the directions of this Court in W.P.No.9558 of 2002 dated 28.10.2002. No costs. ______________ G. ROHINI,J Date: 14-09-2009 Note: Issue C.C. in 3 days. B/o KLP
