Justice T. Meena Kumari) This writ petition is filed seeking to set aside the order, dated 15.12.2005 passed by the A.P. Administrative Tribunal in O.A.No.8196 of 2001. The respondent herein is the applicant before the Tribunal. He filed the above O.A. seeking to set aside the proceedings of the 1st respondent therein, dated 15.5.1999 and consequently, to direct the respondents therein to regularize the services of the applicant from 15.3.1993 instead of from 15.3.1996 and pay the salary for that period with all consequential benefits, on the ground that he was appointed as Bill Collector and after completion of five years, he was absorbed into regular service on regular basis vide proceedings dated 16.7.1992, but however, the 3rd respondent terminated his services vide proceedings dated 26.6.1993 on the ground that such absorption is contrary to rules and subsequently, the applicant was reinstated into service and his services were regularized from 15.3.1996 though he is entitled for regularization from 15.3.1993. The tribunal having gone through the F.R. Rules and the material produced before it, held that the services of the applicant were terminated by the 3rd respondent therein illegally as per document No.3 and subsequently, he was reinstated into service vide orders of the 1st respondent and therefore, the applicant is entitled to all the reliefs. Accordingly, the tribunal allowed the O.A. Having aggrieved by the same, the present writ petition has been preferred by the authorities. Heard the learned Government Pleader as well as the learned Counsel appearing for the respondent-applicant and perused the material available on record. On a perusal of the record and the order impugned, it is apparent that the tribunal has gone into the merits of the case in consonance with the Rules of F.R. and the documents produced before it. Having regard to the findings of the tribunal and in view of the scales of pay of the Bill Collectors, We feel that the order impugned herein does not suffer from any illegality or irregularity and therefore, the writ petition is liable to be dismissed. Accordingly, the writ petition is dismissed. No order as to costs. ________________________ Justice T. Meena Kumari _____________________ Justice G. Chandraiah Date: 13th March, 2008 Nn/Gurc.
