IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE, ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD (Special Original Jurisdiction) PRESENT THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L . NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION NO.30193 OF 2010 DATED:02.12.2010 Between: K. Nagamani … Petitioner And The Regional Manager, APSRTC Kurnool Region, at Kurnool, A.P. and others … Respondents THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L . NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION NO.30193 OF 2010 ORDER: The petitioner was appointed as Conductor on casual basis on 04.3.1997, in the A.P. State Road Transport Corporation. She was removed from service on 5.3.1998 on the proof of allegations of misconduct. In I.D. No.289 of 1998, filed by the petitioner in the Labour Court, Anantapur, an Award was passed on 23.12.2000 setting aside the order of removal and directing reinstatement, without back wages. A further direction was issued to the effect that the petitioner shall be entitled to continuity of service and notional increments for the period during which she was out of service. The grievance of the petitioner is that she was not extended the benefit of notional increments and her regularization was also delayed. She made a representation on 08.9.2003 ventilating her grievance and she contend that no action has been taken thereon. Heard the learned Counsel for the petitioner and the learned Standing Counsel for the respondents. If the Labour Court has extended the benefit of notional increments to the petitioner, there is no reason why she was denied the benefit at all. Further, if the Labour Court has extended the benefit of continuity of service, it needs to be taken into account in the context of regularization. These are, however, matters which are to be verified by the respondents. There was no justification in keeping the representation made by the petitioner unattended to for such a long time. Hence, the Writ Petition is disposed of directing the respondents to pass appropriate orders on the representation dt.08.9.2003 submitted by the petitioner, within a period of six weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. The petitioner shall enclose a copy of the representation also. There shall be no order as to costs. _____________________ L. NARASIMHA REDDY, J 02.12.2010 bnr
