Petitioner And The Regional Manager, A.P.S.R.T.C., Secunderabad Region, Secunderabad and others. .. Respondents ORDER:- This Writ Petition is filed to issue a writ of mandamus to declare the action of respondents in not regularizing the services of the petitioner in spite of lapse of three months period as illegal and arbitrary, and consequently, direct the respondents to regularize his services on par with others by considering his representation, dated 23.01.2011. 2. The case of the petitioner is that he was appointed as a Casual Driver in the year 2001. After some time, he was removed from service on the ground of involvement in an accident. Subsequently, he came to be re-engaged on the basis of the orders passed by the revisional authority. The limited grievance of the petitioner is that while issuing orders of re-engagement, the respondents imposed the punishment of deferment of his regularization for a period of three months. But, even after lapse of three months, the respondents did not take any action. He filed a representation on 23.01.2011 with a request to consider his case for regularization but in vain. 3. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Standing Counsel for the respondents. 4. Learned counsel for the petitioner contended that the petitioner made representation, dated 23.01.2011, to the respondents requesting to regularize his services on par with others but it has not been disposed of. 5. The question of regularization of service arises mainly in relation to persons employed on Adhoc or casual or temporary basis. These appointments are made for various reasons. It is settled law that such persons appointed on such basis do not have any right to hold any post. Whether the services of the petitioner as a casual driver has to be regularized or not has to be decided and determined by the competent authority in accordance with rules and regulations of the Corporation governing the service conditions. 6. Therefore, the respondents are directed to take appropriate decision and pass appropriate orders on the representation of the petitioner, dated 23.01.2011, in accordance with the rules and regulations governing the service conditions of the petitioner, within a period of eight (8) weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. 7. With the above direction, the Writ Petition is disposed of. There shall be no order as to costs. _​_____________________ JUSTICE K.C.BHANU 18th April, 2011 AMD THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE K.C.BHANU W.P.No.5447 OF 2011 Date:18-04-2011 AMD
