HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE L. NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.20297 OF 2010 ORDER: Petitioner was working as Driver in Vidyadharapuram Depot of Andhra Pradesh State Road Transport Corporation. He was subjected to medical examination to ascertain his fitness. The Superintendent & Chief Medical Officer of the Corporation Hospital, Hyderabad, certified on 09-03-2010, to the effect that the petitioner is unfit to discharge the functions of A-1 category Driver. Taking the same into account, the Depot Manager, 3rd respondent herein, informed the petitioner that he is unfit to continue as driver and required him to choose the option either to retire from service or to apply for alternative employment. Petitioner has chosen the second option and made an application for alternative employment. Taking the same into account, the Regional Manager, 2nd respondent herein, issued order dated 20-05-2010 directing the 3rd respondent to take necessary steps to appoint the petitioner as Shramik. The grievance of the petitioner is that no action has been taken so far. 2. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Standing Counsel for the respondents. 3. The Corporation undertakes the review of fitness of the drivers from time to time. Circulars are issued to the effect that in case a driver is found unfit, alternative employment be provided to him or additional monitory benefits be extended. Petitioner has chosen to seek alternative employment. The 2nd respondent, in turn, found that the petitioner is entitled for that benefit. There cannot be any justification for the respondents to keep the petitioner out of employment, even though the circulars provide that the drivers, who are found unfit, must be provided with alternative employment. 4. Hence, the Writ Petition is disposed of directing the 3rd respondent to comply with the directions issued by the 2nd respondent in the order, dated 20-05-2010, within a period of four (4) weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. There shall be no order as to costs. ____________________ L. NARASIMHA REDDY, J November 29, 2010. Note: Furnish C.C. in one week. B/O. KTL
