ORDER:
Operative part
The petitioner was appointed as a Driver in APSRTC in the year 1987. His services were regularized with effect from 01-04-1988. On his request, he was transferred to Dilsukhnagar Depot. The grievance of the petitioner is that even though he was completed 12 years of service, Special Grade/Stagnation increment was not given to him. In this regard, the petitioner gave a representation dated 22-02-2003 but the same has not been considered by the respondents. Whether he works in one depot or any other depot, it makes no difference. Total service rendered in the Corporation has to be taken into consideration. In such view of the matter, a direction can be given to the respondents to consider and pass appropriate orders in giving Special Grade/Stagnation increment to the petitioner in pursuance of his representation dated 22-02-2003. The writ petition is disposed of directing the respondents to pass appropriate orders on the representation dated 22-02-2003 made by the petitioner within a period of four weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. In the circumstances, no costs. 9th JULY, 2004. To 1 The Regional Manager, APSRTC, Hyderabad City Region, J.B.S Picket, Secunderabad. 2 The Depot Manager, APSRTC, Uppal Bus Depot, Hyderabad. 3 Two CD copies.
