THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V. RAMULU W.P. No. 13679 of 2010 O R D E R: This writ petition is filed seeking a Mandamus declaring the proceedings No.E1/1(131)/2007-GTL dated 6.11.2007 of 3rd respondent as arbitrary and illegal; consequently to direct the respondents to continue the petitioner as Driver in the respondent- Corporation, extending all the benefits on par with similarly situated Drivers. It is the case of the petitioner that 3rd respondent, without issuing any charge sheet and conducting any enquiry, terminated him from service vide proceedings dated 6.11.2007 on the allegation that he remained absent from attending the duty for more than three days continuously on more than three occasions in a month without any reason or prior notice. There is no necessity of going into all the details. Learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that similar matters are already allowed by this Court and W.P. No. 5998 of 2009, which was disposed of by this Court on 23.3.2009, is one among them. Learned standing counsel appearing for the respondents fairly admitted that similar matters are allowed by this Court, giving liberty to the Department to conduct enquiry, if it so chooses. Following the order dated 23.3.2009 passed by this Court in W.P. No. 5998 of 2009, this writ petition is allowed and the order of termination passed by 3rd respondent on 6.11.2007 is set aside. However, it is made clear that if there is any misconduct on the part of the petitioner, this order will not preclude the respondents from taking necessary action in accordance with law. No order as to costs. JUSTICE C.V. RAMULU. Date: 18-6-2010. MVB.
