It appears that he was unwell and took treatment in APSRTC Hospital, Tarnaka, for a period of five days. Thereafter, he claimed to have undergone treatment for his illness by applying the local medicines and therefore, he was unable to attend the duties. After recovery from the illness, he claimed to have reported to the Depot Manager, Narayanpet, Mahabubnagar District (3rd respondent) on 01.03.2011. He was neither admitted to duty nor informed about his status. Having waited for considerable time and having requested again and again he issued a legal notice on 11.09.2015. Alleging that even after issuance of legal notice, no response is given by the respondent-Corporation, this writ petition is filed.

3. Having regard to the said submissions, without expressing any opinion on merits, the writ petition is disposed of directing the Regional Manager (2nd respondent) to consider the notice issued on behalf of the petitioner on 11.09.2015 and pass orders, if

Miscellaneous petitions, if any, pending in this writ petition shall stand closed.
