G.Srinivas, Warangal District. v. The Regional Manager, Apsrtc, Warangal And 2 Others

THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE ABHINAND KUMAR SHAVILI W.P. No.7874 of 2006 ORDER:

This writ petition is filed seeking a writ of mandamus declaring the action of the 2nd respondent in issuing proceedings dated 10.10.1999, as illegal, arbitrary and consequently set aside the same. 2.

Heard Sri G.Ravi Mohan, counsel for the petitioner and Sri P.Mayur Reddy, Standing Counsel for the respondents.

3.

It has been contended by the petitioner that a major penalty of deferment of annual grade increment for a period of one year which shall have effect on future increments, was imposed on him, without issuing any show cause notice. It is further contended that this issue was considered by this Court in W.P.No. 18299 of 2005, dated 5th September, 2005, reported in 2005 (6) ALD 247. He further contends that in the said case, this Court has modified the punishment of deferment of annual grade increment for a period of one year with cumulative effect to that of deferment of annual grade increment for a period of one year without cumulative effect. The Standing Counsel for the respondents had not disputed the same.

4.

In view of the above contentions, this Court is of the considered view that this writ petition can also be disposed of in terms of the orders passed by this Court in W.P.No. 18299 of 2005, dated 5th September, 2005, modifying the punishment of deferment of annual grade increment for a period of one year with cumulative effect to that of deferment of annual grade increment for a period of one year without cumulative effect.

5.

Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of, modifying the punishment of deferment of annual grade increment for a period of one year with cumulative effect to that of deferment of annual grade increment for a period of one year without cumulative effect. No order as to cost. Miscellaneous petitions pending, if any, stand closed. ________________________ ABHINAND KUMAR SHAVILI, J Date: 31.10.2018 DMG
