THE HON’BLE MR JUSTICE L. NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.23703 of 2008 ORDER: The petitioners herein are Conductors working at Nizamabad Depot of A.P.S.R.T.C. On 02.10.2008, the Depot Manager, Nizamabad issued proceedings sending the petitioners on deputation along with their respective buses to work in Ranigunj Depot. The petitioners challenge the said proceedings on various grounds. It is stated that deputation or transfer is permitted only within the same region and that the petitioners are not at all acquainted with the routes or method of issue of tickets etc in Hyderabad City. The respondents filed a counter-affidavit stating that the deputation becomes necessary on account of acute shortage of staff in Hyderabad City. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioners and the learned Standing Counsel for the respondents. The arrangement through the impugned order was purely temporary and ad hoc in nature. While admitting the writ petition, this Court granted interim order. The result was that the impugned order could not be given effect to. The necessity of sending the petitioners together with their buses on deputation has ceased to exist now. Substantial change has taken place. Therefore, the writ petition is closed. It is represented that the petitioners were not paid the wages for some period subsequent to the interim orders passed by this Court. If that be so, it shall be open to the petitioners to make representations and the respective Depot Managers shall consider the same and pass appropriate orders. There shall be no order as to costs. ______________________ L.NARASIMHA REDDY,J Dt:01.07.2010. kdl
