THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE N.V. RAMANA W.P. No. 12198 of 2006 Oral order: Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Standing Counsel for the respondents-APSRTC. The only grievance of the petitioner is that he having been retired on medical grounds in terms of Regulation 6A(4) of APSRTC Employees (Service) Regulations, 1964, was assured additional monetary benefits in lieu of alternative appointment under the provisions of Section 47 of the Persons with Disabilities (Equal Opportunities, Protection of Rights and Full Participation) Act, 1998, and that though he submitted representation dated 06.10.2005, followed by another representation dated 08.05.2006 to the respondent seeking grant of additional monetary benefit, as assured, in lieu of alternative employment, the respondent neither passed any orders on his representations nor paid the additional monetary benefit. Hence, he seeks appropriate directions. Inasmuch as the representations dated 06.10.2005 and 08.05.2006, submitted by the petitioner, are said to be pending consideration before the respondent, both the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Standing Counsel for the respondents- APSRTC agreed for disposal of the writ petition with the following directions: The respondent, namely the Depot Manager, APSRTC, Falaknuma Depot, is directed to consider and dispose of the representations dated 06.10.2005 and 08.05.2006, submitted by the petitioner for grant of additional monetary benefit in lieu of alternative employment, in terms of the relevant Circulars, and pass appropriate orders thereon, expeditiously, preferably within a period of six weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order.
