THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V. RAMULU W.P. No. 16276 of 2010 O R D E R: This writ petition is filed seeking a Mandamus declaring the action of 2nd respondent in not ordering re-engagement with continuity of service of the petitioner as contract driver as arbitrary and illegal. There is no necessity of going into all the details. As submitted by the learned counsel appearing on either side, the issue involved in this writ petition is covered by an order passed by this Court in W.P. No. 8090 of 2010 dated 12.4.2010 and, therefore, this writ petition, too, is required to be disposed of in terms of the said order dated 12.4.2010. Accordingly, this writ petition is disposed of following the order dated 12.4.2010 in W.P. No. 8090 of 2010, declaring that the petitioner is entitled for continuity of service and to all the benefits of contract employment, which are extended to the similarly placed contract employees. Accordingly, the order of the 2nd respondent dated 1.5.2009, to the extent of treating the petitioner’s reinstatement as a fresh engagement, stands quashed. It is also made clear that if there is any misconduct on the part of the petitioner, this order will not preclude the respondents from conducting inquiry and passing appropriate orders. JUSTICE C.V. RAMULU. Date: 9-7-2010. MVB.
