Counsel for the Petitioner: Mr.P.GOVINDA RAJULU Counsel for Respondents: Mr. C.PRAKASH REDDY (SC FOR APSRTC) The Court made the following : THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V. RAMULU W.P.No.28626 of 2007 ORAL ORDER: Heard both sides. This Writ Petition is misconceived. It appears, the disciplinary authority, after conducting a detailed enquiry into certain allegations made against the petitioner, removed him from service by an Order dated 2-7-2005. Aggrieved by the same, petitioner carried the matter in appeal and the appellate authority, after due consideration, refused to interfere with the order passed by the disciplinary authority and as such, rejected the appeal on 28-10-2005. Thereafter, petitioner filed a review, but the reviewing authority also rejected the same on 13- 2-2006. Now, according to the petitioner, he filed a mercy petition on 9-1-2007 purported to be under Regulation 30 of A.P.State Road Transport Corporation Employees (CCA) Regulations,1959 and the same is pending with the 1st respondent. In the facts and circumstances of the case, without expressing any opinion on merits, 1st respondent is directed to dispose of the purported mercy petition dated 9-1-2007 and pass appropriate orders, as per law, within a period of four weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this Order and communicate the same to the petitioner. With the above direction, the Writ Petition is disposed of. No order as to costs. 15-2-2008 prk
