ORDER:-
This Writ Petition is filed questioning the impugned action of the Respondents in not releasing the retirement benefits in terms of Regulation 6(1)(b)(c) of APSRTC Employees (Service) Regulations, 1964 as illegal and arbitrary.
2. The Petitioner had originally appointed as a Conductor on 18.02.1988 in Respondent/ Corporation. Subsequently, the Petitioner was promoted in various cadres such as Junior Assistant, Senior Assistant and Deputy Superintendent (P) during the course of his employment. After serving 35 years in the Respondent/ Corporation, the Petitioner was permitted to retire from service on voluntary basis on 28.01.2023. At the time of retirement, the Petitioner had 7 years and 5 months of service in the Respondent/ Corporation. As per Regulation 6(1)(b)(c) of APSRTC Employees (Service) Regulations, 1964, those who are permitted to retire from service on voluntary basis between 5 to 10 years are entitled to 20 days wages for each year for service left over.
3. In that context, the Petitioner had submitted a representation dated 15.04.2026 seeking for payment of additional monetary benefit and other retirement benefits. As the said representation could not be considered, the present Writ Petition came to be filed.
4. Learned Standing Counsel appearing for the Respondents submits that the Respondent/ Corporation would examine the representation and appropriate orders will be passed as expeditiously as possible.
5. Recording the submissions made by learned Standing Counsel for the Respondents, the Writ Petition is disposed of, directing the Respondents to consider the representation of the Petitioner, dated 15.04.2026 as expeditiously as possible, preferably, within a period of three (03) months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. In the event, the Petitioner is held to be entitled for additional monitory benefits; the same shall be released within further period of three (03) months thereafter. There shall be no order as to costs. As a sequel, pending applications, if any, shall stand closed.
