THE HON’BLE MR JUSTICE L. NARASIMHA REDDY Writ Petition No.14299 of 2008 ORDER: The petitioner joined the service of the A.P.S.R.T.C., as Conductor, in the year 1988. The Corporation issued circulars, conferring the benefit of stagnation increment on Drivers and Conductors, who do not earn any promotion for a period of 12 years. The petitioner states that though he completed 12 years of service by July 2000 and did not earn any promotion, the respondents have extended the benefit of stagnation increment only with effect from 2003. Placing reliance upon an order passed by this Court in W.P.No.19924 of 2006, he claims the benefit of the stagnation increment from the date on which he completed 12 years of service. Heard Sri G. Ravi Mohan, learned counsel for the petitioner, and Sri C. Prakash Reddy, learned Standing Counsel for the respondents. It is not in dispute that the Corporation issued Circular No.PD- 65/1989, dated 03-06-1989, to its employees. The method of implementation of the circular fell for consideration before this Court in W.A.No.1861 of 2005. It was directed that the employees shall be extended the benefit of stagnation increment on completion of 12 years of service, but the monetary benefit shall be restricted to the one, from 01-04-2005, in terms of Circular dated 04-06- 2005. Such a relief was granted by this Court to an employee in W.P.No.19924 of 2006. Hence, the writ petition is disposed of, directing that the petitioner shall be entitled to be extended the stagnation increment, with effect from the date on which he completed 12 years of service, but the monetary benefit shall be extended to him only with effect from 01-04-2005. There shall be no order as to costs. _______________________ L. NARASIMHA REDDY, J. Dt.04-07-2008. KO
