THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.RAMULU WRIT PETITION No.19231 of 2005 Dated: 07.12.2007 Between: G.Venkatamma. .. Petitioner. And The APGENCO rep. by its Managing Director, Vidyut Soudha, Hyderabad and another. .. Respondents THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.RAMULU WRIT PETITION No.19231 of 2005 ORDER: Learned counsel on either side fairly conceded that the issue that arises for consideration in this writ petition is squarely covered by the judgment rendered by the Division Bench in W.A.No.657 of 1999, dated 01.12.1999. 2. In view of the above, this writ petition is also liable to be disposed of in terms of the above Judgment. 3. Accordingly, this writ petition is disposed of with the following direction:- “Respondents or other competent authority should interview the petitioner, collect the necessary documents available with her and examine the question of entitlement of the petitioner’s husband for regular absorption in the then APSEB in the light of the relevant criteria and the material available. If there is any doubt, necessary further verification should be made to cross check the information with the records available in the concerned unit and/or with the contractors, we make it clear that while causing verification in the instant case, no different standards of than those applied to workmen absorbed shall be applied. On the other hand, it is a case where more liberal approach is called for while scrutinizing her case. If the husband of the petitioner was working with the contractors on 23.09.1996 in one of the prohibited categories of employment, compassionate appointment shall be offered to the petitioner. This Court records the statement of the learned standing counsel that if the contract labourer was working almost continuously during the month of September, 1996, his mere absence on 23.09.1996 is not being taken seriously by respondents for the purpose of considering his case for regularization. The petitioner’s counsel shall furnish the full and latest address of the petitioner to the Standing Counsel for APGENCO within three days from the date of receipt of a copy of this order.” No costs. _______________ (C.V.RAMULU,J) Dt.07.12.2007 v v
