It is the case of the petitioner that he was employed on the bus bearing No.AP-M-1324, belonging to one M.A.Rasheed, and that the said bus was stopped running due to Nationalisation of routes by the Government. It is contended by the petitioner that since there is a scheme introduced by the Corporation to provide employment to the displaced persons, he is entitled for the beneﬁt of such appointment in the Corporation. 3. On the other hand, in the counter aﬃdavit ﬁled on behalf of the respondents, it is stated that the bus bearing No.AP-M-1324, belonging to one M.A.Rasheed, was being plied on the route from Mahabubnagar to Revally, but, however, the said route was not Nationalised. 4. Though the petitioner is contending that the route on which the bus bearing No.AP-M-1324 was being run, was nationalized, but however, as the respondents have categorically denied that the said route was nationalized, the petitioner is not entitled for the beneﬁt of any employment in the service of the Corporation. 5. For the aforesaid reasons, the writ petition is dismissed. No order as to costs. ______________________ R. SUBHASH REDDY, J 29th October 2008 ajr
