Counsel for the Petitioner: MR.V.RAJAGOPAL REDDY Counsel for the Respondents: Mr.Posani Venkateswarlu The Court made the following Order: This writ petition is filed challenging the impugned order 12.8.1996 passed by the 2nd respondent-Executive Engineer, APSRTC, Nellore, rejecting the case of the petitioner for appointment to the post of Conductor. The case of the petitioner is that he worked as a casual employee for a period of six months during the year 1988-89 in the Civil Engineering unit of APSRTC and his services were terminated in the year 1989. It is the further case of the petitioner that casual employees who worked for six months in the APSRTC were provided with conductor jobs on the ground that they worked for six months with the respondent-Corporation. Since the petitioner is also similarly placed person and as he is entitled to be continued in the employment of the respondent-Corporation, he made several representations to the respondents seeking to consider his case and to provide employment. Aggrieved by the inaction of the respondents in not providing employment, the petitioner filed W.P.No.10773 of 1995. This Court by order dated 1.5.1995 disposed of the said writ petition directing the respondents to consider the claim of the petitioner in case the respondents are appointing any casual employees and if there are any such vacancies. However, the case of the petitioner was not considered. Again the petitioner filed W.P.No.2192 of 1996 and this Court by order dated 14.3.1996 disposed of the said writ petition directing the respondents to consider the case of the petitioner within a period of three months from the date of receipt of a copy of that order. Pursuant to the said direction, the 2nd respondent-Executive Engineer, Nellore, by his proceedings dated 12.8.1996 rejected the case of the petitioner holding that the records do not indicate that the petitioner was engaged by the APSRTC. It is against this order, the present writ petition is filed. Heard both sides. From a perusal of the order under challenge, I am of the view that the 2nd respondent had considered the representation and assigned cogent reasons and rejected the case of the petitioner for regularization or for absorption. The 2nd respondent has observed in the impugned order that, as per the records, the petitioner was never engaged as casual employee in the Corporation and the certificates produced by him to establish the fact that he worked as casual employee in the Corporation during the years 1988-99 are not bona fide one. Therefore, I see no reason or justification to interfere with the order passed by the 2nd respondent. The writ petition, therefore, fails and is accordingly dismissed. No costs. 23.6.2004 Gsn.
