THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No. 13383 OF 2008 O R D E R: The petitioner joined the APSRTC as Driver, in the year 1986. Initially, he was in the Medak Region of the Corporation, and subsequently, he was transferred to the Karimnagar Region. He has completed 12 years of service. The Corporation provided for grant of stagnation increment, on completion of 12 years of service. The grievance of the petitioner is that the respondents are splitting the period of service in two regions, and thereby denying the benefit of stagnation increment. He claims to have made a representation on 25.5.2007, and complains that no action has been taken thereon. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and learned Standing Counsel for the respondents. The manner in which the stagnation increment must be extended to the employees, and the period of service is to be counted, is provided for, in the Circulars issued by the Corporation, from time to time. In case, the petitioner had fulfilled the conditions, he cannot be denied the benefits. The representation made by the petitioner cannot be kept pending, indefinitely. Hence, the writ petition is disposed of, directing the respondents to pass appropriate orders, on the representation of the petitioner, within a period of six weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. There shall be no order as to costs. ________________ 26th June 2008 PAN
