THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE S.ANANDA REDDY WRIT PETITION No : 17873 of 2005 Dated: 12-08-2005 Between: V. Penchalaiah, S/o. late Narsaiah, Aged 28 years, Occ: Unemployee, R/o. Apparaopalem post, Atmakur Mandal, Nellore District. Petitioner… AND The A.P.S.R.T.C. represented By its Managing Director, Musheerabad, Hyderabad and another. Respndents… ORDER: This writ petition is filed by the petitioner aggrieved by the inaction of the respondents in providing employment to the petitioner under the ‘Bread Winner Scheme’ on compassionate grounds. According to the petitioner, his father Narasaiah was working as Conductor in Sullurpet Depot under the respondent Corporation and died of heart attack on 17-05-2002 while in service. The petitioner’s father died leaving the petitioner, his mother, two younger brothers as well as the grand parents. As the petitioner’s family was not having any other source of livelihood, the petitioner made an application on 25-08-2003 seeking appointment under the ‘Bread Winner Scheme’. The said application was made as early as on 25-08-2003 to the 2nd respondent – Regional Manager, A.P.S.R.T.C., Nellore Region, Nellore, but no orders have been passed thereon, therefore the petitioner has come up with the present writ petition. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner as well as the learned Standing Counsel for the Corporation and considered the material available on record. Admittedly, the petitioner’s father has worked under the respondent Corporation and died while in service on 17-05-2002, therefore the petitioner is entitled for the benefits of the ‘Bread Winner Scheme’ under which one of the members of the family i.e., either the spouse or the children of the deceased employee has to be appointed in any of the suitable post under the respondent Corporation. The grievance of the petitioner is that though the representation/application was made as early as on 25-08-2003 to the 2nd respondent, no orders have been passed thereon. In view of the above circumstances that the representation/application of the petitioner seeking appointment is pending for the last two years, it is appropriate to dispose of the writ petition directing the 2nd respondent to pass appropriate orders on the representation/application dated 25-08-2003 of the petitioner, as expeditiously as possible, preferably within a period of six weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order, considering the claim of the petitioner for being appointed in any of the suitable post in the respondent Corporation under the ‘Bread Winner Scheme’. The Writ Petition is accordingly disposed of. No order as to costs. ___________________ S. ANANDA REDDY, J Dated: 12-08-2005 NOTE: Issue C.C. of the order within three days (B/O.) LSK
