CHANDRAIAH WRIT PETITION NO.20231 OF 2010 ORDER: The writ petition is filed by the petitioner seeking for issuance of writ of mandamus to declare the action of the 3rd respondent in not settling and releasing his terminal benefits in spite of his removal from service as early as on 21.4.2003, as illegal, arbitrary and contrary to the order of this Court dated 15.7.2008 in W.P.No:15133 of 2008 and consequently, to direct the respondents to settle and release his terminal benefits forthwith. The case of the petitioner is that he was appointed as a Helper in A.P.S R.T.C in the year 1979 and his services were regularized in the year 1982. While so, he was issued charge sheet on 12.9.2002 alleging certain charges against him and in consequence of the same, by order dated 21.4.2003, he was removed from service. Having aggrieved by the same, he filed an appeal and the same was rejected. Thereafter, he filed a representation-dated 6.8.2007 before the 3rd respondent seeking either to reinstate him or to settle his terminal benefits. But, no action has been taken. On that, he filed W.P.15133 of 2008 seeking to declare the order of removal passed by the 3rd respondent dated 21.4.2003 as arbitrary and illegal and consequently, to direct the 2nd respondent to consider his representation dated 6.8.2007. This Court by order dated 15.7.2008 disposed of the said writ petition directing the 2nd respondent to settle his claim within a period of six (6) Weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of that order. Accordingly, he attended the office of the 3rd respondent and claimed his terminal benefits. But, the 3rd respondent without settling the terminal benefits, has been postponing the same from time to time on one pretext or the other. Hence, he filed the present writ petition. On behalf of the respondents, a counter affidavit is filed. It is inter alia stated in the counter that in compliance with the order passed by this Court in W.P.No:15133 of 2008, the respondents have addressed a letter to the petitioner to attend the office of the 3rd respondent without any delay along with the bank account and relevant documents. But, the petitioner has failed to submit the same. It is further stated that as soon as the petitioner submits the bank account and the relevant documents, his case will be considered and the payments will be made. Heard. Since the petitioner has failed to submit the Bank account and the relevant documents to the respondents-authorities, the delay has occurred in considering his claim. Apart from that, the respondents have fairly conceded in the counter that as soon as the petitioner submits all the relevant documents, his case will be considered and the payments will be made. In view of this and having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case as well as the contentions in the counter affidavit, without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, the writ petition is disposed of directing the petitioner to furnish the relevant documents and information to the respondents as required by them, within a period of 2 (two) Weeks from today, and, thereafter, the respondents are directed to finalize the claim of the petitioner and pass appropriate orders in pursuance of the order of this Court, dated 15.7.2008 in W.P.No:15133 of 2008, within a period of two (2) Weeks.
