The case of the petitioner is that he was appointed as conductor in December, 1987 at Jagityal Depot, under the quota reserved for displaced employees on the ground of Nationalization of the Bus route vide Bus No. AAZ 1985. While so, in the year 1990, he was removed from service, on the ground of some cash and tickets irregularities. Questioning the same, he filed I.D.No. 488 of 1990 in Labour Court Godavarikhani, which by its Award dated 14.10.1991 ordered his reinstatement as booking Conductor in any bus station without any attendant benefits and with nominal continuity of service and the same became final. In pursuance of the said Award, the Deputy Manager (Law), by his letter dated 28.11.1991, directed the Regional Manager, Karimnagar to comply with the Award of the Labour Court and, consequently, the Divisional Manager, Karimanagar, passed an office order dated 25.10.1991, directing his reinstatement as Booking Clerk at Huzurabad and accordingly, he joined there in the month of January, 1992. His further case is that he is entitled for the continuity service and for the promotions on par with the juniors. He stated that he made a representation on 09.01.2003 to the 2nd respondent to consider his case for promoting him to the post of Assistant Depot Clerk on par with the junior K. Prabhakar Reddy. But the said representation was not considered and disposed of. Hence the writ petition. Having regard to the facts and circumstances, and without going into the merits and demerits of the case, it would suffice in the interest of Justice to direct the 2nd respondent to consider and dispose of the representation of the petitioner dated 09.01.2003. Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of directing the 2nd respondent to consider the representation of the petitioner dated 09.01.2003 and to dispose of the same, within six weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order.
