It is the case of the petitioner that he joined as Driver in the respondent Corporation in the year 1989. While working in the third respondent Depot, the petitioner was affected with Driving phobia and subsequently declared unfit for the post of Driver. In spite of repeated requests made by the petitioner for providing alternative employment under the Act, the respondents have not considered his case and are keeping the petitioner idle without paying any salary. Hence the present writ petition. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned standing counsel for the respondents Corporation. Admittedly, the petitioner has not stated anything whether he has filed any written representation seeking alternative employment and even there is no material placed before this Court, in this regard. Under the above circumstances, the petitioner is directed to make an application seeking alternative employment to the respondents and on such application being filed by the petitioner, respondents 2 and 3 are directed to consider the same and pass appropriate orders expeditiously. The writ petition is accordingly disposed of. No costs. __________________ N.V. RAMANA, J 28-07-2006. Msr. HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE N.V. RAMANA WRIT PETITION No.15706 of 2006 28-07-2006 (Msr)
