HON’BLE SHRI G.S.SINGHVI, THE CHIEF JUSTICE WRIT PETITION No. 29729 OF 1998 Between: The Depot Manager, A.P.S.R.T.C., Hakimpet Bus Depot …Petitioner AND The Labour Court, III, Hyderabad and another ...Respondents : O R D E R : Counsel for the petitioner : Shri K. Madhava Reddy October 3, 2007 This petition is directed against award dated 9-12-1996 passed by Presiding Officer, Labour Court – III, Hyderabad in I.D No. 452 of 1993, whereby he declared the removal of respondent No.2 from the service of the Andhra Pradesh State Road Transport Corporation as illegal and ordered his reinstatement with continuity of service and 25% back wages. It is borne out from the record that on account of non- compliance of the pre-emptory order passed on 4-4-2003, the writ petition stood dismissed qua respondent No. 2 and no application was filed by the petitioner for setting aside the deemed dismissal of the writ petition qua respondent No.2. In my opinion, relief in terms of the prayer made by the petitioner cannot be granted because the person who will be directly affected by quashing of the award is no longer a party to the writ petition. For the reason stated above, the writ petition is dismissed. G.S. SINGHVI, CJ October 3, 2007 ks
