THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L. NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.17480 of 2010 Date: 12.11.2010 Between: A.S. Ali ..... Petitioner AND The APSRTC, rep.by its Vice-Chairman & Managing Director, Musheerabad, Hyderabad and others. .....Respondents THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L. NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.17480 of 2010 ORDER:- The petitioner was employed as a Driver in the respondent- Corporation. While working in 3rd respondent Depot, he was found medically unfit to discharge his duties. Therefore, the Corporation offered him additional monetary benefit. He approached this Court by filing W.P.No.17484 of 2008 seeking alternative employment. An interim order was passed on 5.9.2008 directing the respondent to consider the case of the petitioner for providing alternative employment under Section 47 of the Persons with Disabilities (Equal Opportunities, Protection of Rights and Full Participation) Act, 1995. In compliance with the said directions, the respondents issued proceedings, dated 16.7.2009, directing reinstatement of the petitioner into service as Shramik. Before that order was issued, the respondent-Corporation paid a sum of Rs.1,92,480/- towards additional monetary benefit. A condition was imposed to the effect that the said amount shall be repaid in lieu of employment as Shramik. 2. This writ petition is filed stating that the petitioner is not in a position to deposit the said amount and he prays for modification of the said condition. It is also alleged that only a sum of Rs.17,730/- was paid to him and the rest of the amount was adjusted towards CCS loan and the dues before the civil Court. 3. Learned Standing Counsel for the respondents-Corporation contends that the petitioner got the relief in the form of appointment as Shramik. The provision of additional monetary benefit is an alternative for such employment. Since the petitioner was paid that amount, the Corporation was certainly justified in insisting for refund of the said amount. 4. Though the petitioner prays for total withdrawal of that condition and seeks that the amount of Rs.1,92,480/- be deducted in instalments from the future salaries, this Court is of the view that the petitioner must pay atleast a part of that amount. 5. Hence, the writ petition is disposed of, at the stage of admission, directing that the respondents shall permit the petitioner to join duty as Shramik as and when he deposits a sum of Rs.50,000/- (Rupees fifty thousand only). The balance amount shall be recovered from the petitioner in twenty (20) equal instalments from his salary. No order as to costs. ____________________________ L. NARASIMHA REDDY, J 12.11.2010.
