HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE RAMESH RANGANATHAN W.P.No.24275 of 1997 Date: 13.02.2007 Between: Balamuri Laxman Rao …. Petitioner And The Managing Director, APSRTC, Musheerabad, Hyderabad and another …. Respondents ORDER: The petitioner, who worked as conductor in a private bus service, claims absorption into the services of APSRTC on the ground that he was hitherto working in a private bus bearing No.A.P.1-T-8131 prior to its nationalization. In the counter affidavit, it is stated on behalf of the respondents that the vehicle stopped functioning from 27.6.1990 and was not even covered by any valid permit from 12.8.1990. Since the validity of permit expired, neither the bus was plied nor the petitioner worked therein on the date the route was nationalized. In compliance with the orders of this Court earlier, the petitioner’s case was considered and orders were passed rejecting his candidature. Since the petitioner has not fulfilled the conditions prescribed for absorption, the relief sought for in the writ petition cannot be granted. The writ petition fails and is accordingly dismissed. No costs. ________________________ RAMESH RANGANATHAN, J Date: 13th February 2007 Ksn
