THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE GHULAM MOHAMMED AND THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE NOOTY RAMAMOHANA RAO Writ Appeal No. 1418 of 2011 ORDER: (per GM,J) This Writ Appeal is directed against the judgment rendered by the learned single Judge dismissing WP No. 31020 of 1997 , dated 17.2.2010 preferred by the appellant against the award dated 21.8.1997 passed in ID No. 184 of 1994 by the Labour Court-III, Hyderabad. The workman who has initiated the ID No. 184 of 1994 has been impleaded as the 2nd respondent to the writ petition while the Labour Court-III, Hyderabad was impleaded as the 1st respondent. Labour Court-III is a mere proforma party to the proceedings. It is the workman, who is the contesting party. However, the writ petition was dismissed against the said 2nd respondent – workman on 2.4.2009. The appellant who is the writ petitioner has not bothered to challenge the said order dated 2.4.2009. Therefore, by the time WP No. 31020 of 1997 was taken up for consideration by the learned single Judge on 17.2.2010, the writ petition could not be entertained in the absence of the contesting respondent – workman. Hence, he dismissed the said writ petition. When we confronted the learned Standing Counsel for the APSRTC as to what error was committed by the learned single Judge in dismissing the writ petition in the absence of the contesting workman, no satisfactory answer could be furnished. Therefore, we find no justification whatsoever to admit this writ appeal and accordingly it is dismissed at the admission stage as there was no error committed by the learned single Judge in dismissing the writ petition. No costs. ---------------------------------- Justice Ghulam Mohammed --------------------------------- Nooty Ramamohana Rao, J knk 27TH December 2011
