It appears, the petitioner while working as Driver in the Visakhapatnam Depot-I of Andhra Pradesh State Road Transport Corporation, met with an accident, while on duty, and thus, medically declared as unfit to hold the post of Driver. Therefore, the impugned order was passed keeping the petitioner under compulsory leave for a period of one year. The grievance of the petitioner is that he is entitled for alternative employment under the provisions of Section 47 of the Persons with Disabilities (Equal Opportunities, Protection of Rights and Full Participation) Act, 1995. Learned Standing Counsel for the respondents submitted that in obedience to the order passed by this Court on 30.11.2007 in W.P.M.P.No.33193 of 2007, the respondents have already passed orders on 22.08.2008 providing alternative employment to the petitioner as Shramik. Therefore, nothing survives in this Writ Petition for further adjudication and the Writ Petition is accordingly closed. There shall be no order as to costs. ______________ C.V.RAMULU,J.
