PETITIONER AND A.P.S.R.T.C. represented by its Regional Manager, Kurnool, Kurnool District. .....RESPONDENT Counsel for the Petitioner:MR.C. HANUMANTHA RAYUDU Counsel for the Respondent: --- The Court made the following : O R D E R: This writ petition is filed for a writ of Mandamus to declare the inaction of the respondent in furnishing copies of service record and service certificate of the petitioner as illegal and arbitrary. The petitioner averred that after serving the respondent- Corporation for sometime, he left the said Corporation and joined another Company. In connection with making claims before the ESI authorities, for payment of insurance etc., he required certain documents from the respondent. The petitioner averred that he made a representation on 27-02-2009 to the respondent to furnish copy of service record and service certificate. The grievance of the petitioner is that the said documents have not been furnished. If the petitioner was the employee of the respondent, I do not find any reason for the latter not to furnish copies required by the petitioner, which on their face suggest that they are not confidential in nature. In this view of the matter, the respondent is directed to dispose of the representation of the petitioner. If the respondent finds valid objections in law not to supply the copies, it shall pass an appropriate order and communicate the same to the petitioner, within a period of four (4) weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. If the petitioner feels aggrieved by such an order, he can avail the remedies available to him in law. Subject to the above direction, the writ petition is disposed of.
