Late Ahmed Shareef, R/o. 10-79 Gandhi Chowk, Rudroor Mandal, Varni, Nizamabad District. ...RESPONDENT For the Appellants: MR.V.T.M.PRASAD, STANDING COUNSEL FOR APSRTC. For the Respondent : MR.V.NARASIMHA GOUD, ADVOCATE The Court delivered the following : ORAL ORDER: (Per Sri Bilal Nazki, J) Appeal has been filed against the order of the learned single Judge allowing the writ petition directing the respondent to forthwith comply with the provisions of Section 47 of the Persons with Disabilities (Equal Opportunities, Protection of Rights and Full Participation) Act, 1995 (for short “the Act”). The petitioner suffered defect in vision during service. He was working as driver in APSRTC. Because of loss of vision, he was retired from service with effect from 21.08.2003. He challenged the order and the writ petition was allowed. We do not find any ground to interfere with the order passed by the learned single Judge as the controversy is concluded even by the earlier judgment of this Court reported in A.P. STATE ROAD TRANSPORT CORPORATION, HYDERABAD v. M.V.RAMANA RAO. This judgment has been followed by another Division Bench earlier also in Writ Appeal No.473 of 2004. Since the petitioner lost his vision while in service, he is entitled to an alternative job in the Corporation. For these reasons, we do not find any merit in the appeal, which is dismissed. ________________ (BILAL NAZKI, J) 11th October, 2004. ___________________ (S.ANANDA REDDY, J) To 1.
