Counsel for the Petitioner: MR.P.GOVINDA RAJULU Counsel for the Respondents: MR.Y.V.SWAMY The Court at the admission stage, made the following: THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE K.C.BHANU WRIT PETITION NO:22929 of 2004 ORDER: The petitioner was sponsored by the Employment Exchange, Chittoor, for the post of Driver under respondent-Corporation. After verification of the records and driving licence, the petitioner was directed to undergo Foundation Training Course at Zonal Staff Training College, Nellore, after depositing Rs.500/- as security. After undergoing training for 2 ½ years successfully, he was allotted a Staff No.E1/684(8)/97, as a Driver. Subsequently, proceedings dated 24-12- 2001, have been issued by the respondent-Corporation stating that the Corporation is running in losses, therefore, it is unable to provide employment to the petitioner. 2. The main grievance of the petitioner is that though the juniors who underwent training, along with him, were given employment as drivers, his case has not been considered. For considering his case, the petitioner made a representation dated 19-12-2003, to the respondent-Corporation to pass appropriate orders. 3. The question, as to whether the juniors of the petitioner have been given employment, as alleged by the petitioner, by overlooking his case, has to be decided by the respondent-Corporation. 4 . In the light of the above facts and circumstances of the case, I consider it appropriate to give a direction to the respondent-Corporation. 5 . Therefore, the respondent-Corporation is directed to consider and pass appropriate orders on the representation of the petitioner dated 19-12- 2003 within a period of four weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. 6. Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of. There shall be no order as to costs. ___________________ December 10, 2004 KVR TO 1 The Vice Chairman and Managing Director, A.P.S.RT.C.
