HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.RAMULU WRIT PETITION No.18478 of 1997 Date: April 13, 2007 Between: P.Venkata Rao, son of Ramachandra Rao, Aged 26 years, displaced employee, C/o B.Rama Rao, H.No.9-4-172/1, Srinagar Colony, Karimnagar. … Petitioner. And 1. The Regional Manager, APSRTC, Adilabad, Adilabad District and 2 others. … Respondents. * * * ORDER: This writ petition is filed challenging the proceedings No.E1/M1/785 (61)/95-RM-ADB, dated 17.6.1997, issued by the first respondent rejecting the claim of the petitioner for absorption as a cleaner in the respondent corporation under displaced employees quota, as arbitrary and illegal and consequently to direct the respondents to appoint the petitioner as cleaner in the respondent corporation forthwith. 2. The impugned proceedings dated 17.6.1997 reveals that the selection committee considered the representation of the petitioner made on 16.7.1995 and he was advised to attend interview on 21.7.1995, but he failed to attend the interview on 21.7.1995. Therefore, the selection committee endorsed against remarks column that the owner has not sponsored the name and when the petitioner was advised to attend for interview on 21.7.1995, he failed to do so and treated as absent. Further, a show cause notice informing remarks of the selection committee was sent to the petitioner by registered post with acknowledgement due. The petitioner had submitted his explanation and the same was not taken into consideration and rejected the case of the petitioner for absorption into the service of the corporation as a cleaner. 3. Now, the learned Standing Counsel for the respondents also states that nationalisation of routes in this particular case was taken up in the year 1991 and now we are in 2007 and in the meanwhile the very scheme for absorption of the displaced employees, due to nationalisation of the routes, was scrapped. 4. Under those circumstances, the writ petition is devoid of merits and liable to be dismissed and accordingly dismissed. No costs. __________________ (C.V.RAMULU, J.) Date: April 13, 2007. BSB
