Detailed headnote1 paragraphs

High Court of Andhra Pradesh (Amaravati), W.P. No.3581 of 2019, decided 23-04-2025 by Dr Justice Venkata Jyothirmai Pratapa: 148 Drivers serving in T.T.D. Transport filed a writ petition under Article 226 challenging as illegal, arbitrary and violative of Board Resolution No.220 dt.20.12.2016 and the A.P. Charitable and Hindu Religious Institutions and Endowments Act, 1987 the reduction ('cutshorting') of their monthly salary from Rs.24,500/- to Rs.17,890/- by exclusion of Dearness Allowance and H.R.A., effected through Proceedings Roc.No.TE5/936/GM/TTD/2018 dt.02-01-2019 of the Executive Officer, TTD and consequential Proceedings Roc.No.TE5/144/GM/TTD/TPT/2017 dt.24.01.2019 of the General Manager, TTD Transport, allegedly under the guise of implementing the interim orders in Writ Petition No.38488 of 2018; they further sought restoration of Rs.24,500/- per month and payment of Piligrim Risk Allowance, City Compensate Allowance, Medical Allowance, ID cards etc. on par with contract employees of other departments such as S.V. Dairy Farm and Marketing. When the matter was taken up for hearing, Sri Y.V. Anil Kumar, learned counsel for the petitioners, submitted that the petition may be disposed of since the relief had become infructuous. Recording the same, and with the learned Assistant Government Pleader in attendance, the Court dismissed the Writ Petition as infructuous with no order as to costs, and as a sequel closed the pending interlocutory applications. The merits of the salary-reduction challenge were not adjudicated.
