HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE L. NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.28940 OF 2010 ORDER: Petitioner was employed as Driver, on contract basis, in the Nandyal Depot of Andhra Pradesh Road Transport Corporation. His contract was terminated through proceedings dated 14-08-2007, alleging that he remained absent unauthorizedly from duties. Petitioner preferred an appeal, before the Regional Manager, Kurnool. Through order dated 27-09-2007, the Regional Manager has set aside the order of termination and directed that the petitioner shall report duty within ten days. Thereafter, petitioner joined service and was working. 4. The 4th respondent passed an order, dated 13-11-2007, terminating the services of the petitioner, on the ground that he remained absent from 10-11-2007 onwards. The same is challenged in this writ petition. 5. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Standing Counsel for the respondents. 6. It is no doubt true that the impugned order is not preceded by any enquiry or show cause notice. All the same, the petitioner was expected to avail the Departmental remedies of appeal or review, as he did on the earlier occasion. He approached this Court three years after the order of termination was passed. 7. Hence, the Writ Petition is disposed of, leaving it open to the petitioner to avail the remedy of review. It is directed that in case, the review is filed within four (4) weeks from today, the Regional Manager shall consider the same on its own merits, without raising any objection. There shall be no order as to the costs. ____________________ L. NARASIMHA REDDY, J November 23, 2010. KTL
