THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V. RAMULU WRIT PETITION No.2564 of 2005 ORAL ORDER : Heard learned Standing Counsel for the petitioner-A.P.State Road Transport Corporation as well as the learned counsel for the 1st respondent-workman. 2. This writ petition is filed seeking to quash the Award dated 19.7.2004 in I.D.No.41 of 2003 passed by the Industrial Tribunal-cum-Labour Court, Godavarikhani, Karimnagar District, whereunder the Labour Court directed for reinstatement of the 1st respondent-workman afresh, while exercising the powers under Section 11-A of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947 (for brevity “the Act”). 3. It appears, the 1st respondent-workman was removed from service after conducting an enquiry into the charges framed against him. However, the Labour Court found that though the charges are proved, the order of removal from service is disproportionate to that of the misconduct alleged and, while exercising the powers under Section 11-A of the Act, granted the relief of fresh appointment. 4. I am of the view that this is purely a discretionary order passed by the Labour Court in the facts and circumstances of the case and, therefore, the impugned order does not call for any interference by this Court under Article 226 of the Constitution of India. 5. Further, learned counsel for the 1st respondent-workman states that during the pendency of the writ petition, the 1st respondent-workman was reinstated into service afresh and thereafter on attaining the age of superannuation he retired from service. 6. In view of the above, the writ petition is liable to be dismissed and accordingly dismissed. No order as to costs. _______________________ JUSTICE C.V. RAMULU 04.06.2010.
