THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE N.V. RAMANA Writ Petition No. 25744 of 2006 Date: 11.12.2006 Between: K. C. Chand Basha. .... PETITIONER AND The Regional Manager, APSRTC, Tirupati, Cshittore District and another. .....RESPONDENTS THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE N.V. RAMANA Writ Petition No. 25744 of 2006 Order: Questioning the inaction of the respondent-APSRTC in not appointing the petitioner in regular vacancy on par with similarly situated persons, the present writ petition is filed. 2. The petitioner, while working as Driver in the respondents- APSRTC, was terminated from service on the allegation that the driving licence produced by him is not genuine one. Aggrieved by the same, he filed W.P.No.14946 of 2004 and the same was disposed of on 24.08.2004, with a direction to the respondents- APSRTC to consider the case of the petitioner, if the genuineness of the driving licence produced by the petitioner is already verified, and pass appropriate orders. In pursuance of the said order, the 1st respondent appointed him as a casual Driver, vide proceedings dated 27.09.2004, in the 2nd respondent’s Depot. Now, the grievance of the petitioner is that though the respondent-APSRTC has appointed some similarly situated persons as that of the petitioner on regular basis, his appointment as casual Driver, is illegal and arbitrary. So, he made representation dated 05.09.2006 to the 1st respondent seeking to regularize his service in the respondents-APSRTC, but no orders thereon have been passed. Hence, he filed the present writ petition. 3. Since the representation dated 05.09.2006 of the petitioner seeking to regularize his service, is said to be pending consideration before the 1st respondent, instead of keeping the writ petition pending, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the same with the following direction. The 1st respondent is directed to consider the representation dated 05.09.2006 of the petitioner and pass appropriate orders in accordance with law. The Writ Petition is accordingly disposed of. No costs. ________________ N.V. RAMANA, J. Date: 13.12.2006 sj/nsr
