P.L Rao, v. Andhra Pradesh State Road Transport Corporation,

THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE A.V.SESHA SAI W.P.No.12377 of 2016 ORDER:

Today, when the matter is called, it is represented by the learned counsel for the petitioner as also the learned Standing Counsel for Respondents that the issue in the present writ petition is squarely covered by the order passed by this Court in W.P.No.18299 of 2005 dated 5.9.2005 and a copy of the same is placed on record. The operative portion of the said order reads as under:

"Strictly speaking, the impugned order deserves to be set aside, and the matter needs to be remanded. However, having regard to the fact that nearly six years have elapsed, this Court does not find it proper, to subject the petitioner to another set of proceedings. Taking the totality of the circumstances into account, the punishment of stoppage of increment shall be treated, as the one without cumulative effect. However, the petitioner shall not be entitled for any monetary benefit, upto the date of this order, on account of the modification of the punishment".

2. Following the above referred order and for the reasons recorded therein, this writ petition is also allowed in terms of the above mentioned order dated 5.9.2005 in W.P.No.18299 of 2005. As a sequel, the miscellaneous petitions, if any, shall stand closed. There shall be no order as to costs.
