N.Venkateswara Rao And Another v. Andhra Pradesh State Road Transport Corporation

HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE ABHINAND KUMAR SHAVILI WRIT PETITION No.18836 OF 2002

ORDER

1.

This writ petition is filed seeking to issue a writ of Mandamus declaring the action of the respondents in altering the service condition of the petitioners pending adjudication of the Industrial Dispute No.11 of 2001 before the Labour Court-I, Warangal, as illegal and arbitrary, and consequently, to direct the respondents to continue the services of the petitioners on the same terms and conditions.

2.

Heard Sri G. Vidyasagar and Smt. K. Uday Sree, learned Counsel appearing for the petitioners and the learned Standing Counsel appearing for the respondentCorporation. 3.

Learned Counsel for the petitioners submits that since the petitioners have been continuously working from the date of their appointment i.e., 1992 and 1987 respectively, without any interruption, they are seeking regularization of their services.

4.

Learned Standing Counsel appearing for the respondent-Corporation contends that proposals have

been submitted by the respondent-Corporation to the Government to regularize the services of the similarly situated persons in terms of G.O.Ms.212, dated 22.4.1994. 5.

Having considered the rival submissions made by the learned counsel on either side, this Court is of the view that ends of justice would be met if a direction is issued to the petitioners to submit a representation to the respondent-Corporation seeking regularization of their services.

6.

Accordingly, the Writ Petition is disposed of directing the petitioners to submit a representation to the respondent-Corporation seeking regularization of their services, within a period of one week from the date of receipt of a copy of the order. On such representation being received, the respondent-Corporation shall consider the same and pass appropriate orders within a period of four weeks thereafter. No costs. Miscellaneous petitions, if any, pending shall stand closed.
