THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE N.V.RAMANA Writ Petition No.25646 of 2006 Dated:12 December, 2006 Between: S.Venkataramana. …..PETITIONER AND The Regional Manager, APSRTC., Thirupati, Chittoor district and another. ….RESPONDENTS THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE N.V.RAMANA W.P.No.25646 of 2006 ORDER: Petitioner was appointed as a casual driver in the respondents’ corporation in the year 1996 and worked as such till he was terminated on 24-11-1997 on the ground that he got employment by producing bogus driving license. Petitioner against the said termination orders dated 24-11-1997 approached the labour court. The labour court vide award dated 25-10-2000, directed the respondents to appoint the petitioner as fresh driver on production of genuine driving license. Pursuant to the award of the labour court on 05-03-2005 petitioner was appointed as driver on contract basis. It is the grievance of the petitioner that some of his batch mates who were terminated on the allegation of producing bogus license were appointed in a regular vacancy even though the labour court directed the respondents to give them fresh appointment, but he has been deprived of the same. However, it is stated that the petitioner has not made any representation to the respondents seeking to appoint him in a regular vacancy on par with his batch mates. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner as also the learned Standing Counsel for the respondents/APSRTC. Having regard to the fact that the petitioner has not made any representation to the respondents seeking to regularize his service on par with his batch mates who were terminated on the allegation of producing bogus license and were appointed in a regular vacancy despite the labour court directing to give fresh appointment, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the writ petition with the following directions: The petitioner is directed to submit representation to the 1st respondent/Regional Manager, APSRTC, Tirupathi, Chittoor district seeking to regularize his service on par with his batch mates who were terminated on the allegation of producing bogus license and were appointed in a regular vacancy despite the labour court directing to give fresh appointment, and on such representation being filed, the 1st respondent/Regional Manager, APSRTC, Tirupathi, Chittoor district is directed to consider and dispose of the same, expeditiously, within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of with the above directions. No costs. ___________________ (N.V. RAMANA, J.)
