THE HON’BLE MR JUSTICE L. NARASIMHA REDDY Writ Petition No.26833 of 2010 ORDER: The petitioner was employed as a Driver in the Amalapuram Depot of A.P.S.R.T.C. He was retired before attaining the age of superannuation, on the ground that he is found medically unfit with effect from December, 2007. The petitioner got issued a legal notice, dated 20.02.2010, to the respondents with a prayer to provide alternative employment, in terms of Section 47 of the Persons with Disabilities Act, 1995 (for short ‘the Act’). His grievance is that no action has been taken thereon. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner, and learned Standing Counsel for the respondents. The Act applies to the employees of the Corporation and it obligates them to provide alternative employment, in case an employee is rendered medically unfit. Further, the Corporation has evolved a special scheme for the benefit of Drivers, who are retired on being found medically unfit. Such employees would be extended the Additional Monitory Benefit over and above the other retirement benefits. The petitioner appears to have chosen to press claim under the Act. The respondents are under obligation to issue reply to the petitioner. Hence, the Writ Petition is disposed of, leaving it open to the petitioner to make a representation to the respondents pointing out his grievance, and the respondents shall, in turn, pass orders within a period of four weeks thereafter. There shall be no order as costs. _____________________ L. NARASIMHA REDDY, J. Dt.09.11.2010. GJ
