THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.RAMULU WRIT PETITION No.25990 of 2000 ORDER: This writ petition is directed against award dated 05.10.1991 passed in I.D.No.591 of 1989 on the file of the Labour Court, Godavarikhani. It appears, while the petitioner was working as a Mechanic in the 2nd respondent Corporation, he was removed from service by order dated 17.08.1987, on the allegation that he used abusive language and behaved unruly, that he beat the on duty Mechanical chargeman and also that he was responsible for the slackness in the maintenance work. Aggrieved thereby, the petitioner filed I.D.No.591 of 1989 on the file of the Labour Court, Godavarikhani, which, after considering the matter in detail, dismissed the I.D. preferred by the petitioner. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner was illegally removed from service and that the explanation submitted by the petitioner to the charge sheet dated 23.10.1986 was not properly considered. He further submits that the allegations leveled against the petitioner are incorrect. The order of removing the petitioner from the post of Mechanic was passed way back on 17.08.1987, against which the petitioner raised I.D.No.591 of 1989, which was ultimately dismissed by order dated 05.10.1991. After more than nine years of passing of the order in the said I.D., the petitioner filed the present writ petition, which is pending for the last more than ten years. Thus, it is about 20 years since the petitioner was removed from service and the very writ petition filed against the award dated 05.10.1991 passed in I.D.No.591 of 1989 suffers from irretrievable latches and, therefore, the writ petition is liable to be dismissed on this ground alone. The writ petition is, accordingly, dismissed. No order as to costs. _____________ C.V.RAMULU,J 26.11.2010 v v
