THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE K.C.BHANU WRIT PETITION No. 2141 OF 2011 ORDER: The petitioner was appointed on contract basis, as Driver, in the APSRTC. After some time, he was removed from service on the ground of unauthorized absenteeism. No enquiry was conducted before the order of removal was passed. Subsequently, he came to be re-engaged on the basis of the orders passed by fourth respondent-appellate authority in appeal filed by the petitioner. The limited grievance of the petitioner is that while issuing orders of re-engagement, the respondents did not extend the benefit of continuity of service with all consequential service benefits including regularization. 2. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Standing Counsel for the respondents. 3. Identical issue was dealt with by this Court in Writ Petition No.8090 of 2010. Through order dated 12.04.2010, this Court held that the contractual employees, who are re-engaged on the orders of removal being set aside, are entitled for the benefit of past service. 4. The relief of regularization cannot be granted to the petitioner. It is for the respondents to take appropriate decision for regularization of the services of the petitioner in accordance with the rules, regulations and circulars governing the service conditions of the petitioner. This relief is left open to be considered by the respondents. However, it is directed that the petitioner shall be entitled to the benefit of the service between the date of termination and the date of re-engagement, but he shall not be entitled to any monetary or other benefits in pursuance of this order. 5. The Writ Petition is, accordingly, allowed to the extent indicated above. There shall be no order as to costs. --------------------- 25.04.2011 (K.C.Bhanu, J.)
