Hon’ble Sri Justice Ghulam Mohammed) Heard learned Counsel for the parties. When this matter is taken up for hearing, learned Counsel appearing for the 1st respondent/Writ Petitioner contended that the subject matter involved in this writ appeal is squarely covered by a decision of this Court in APSRTC, Mushirabad, Hyderabad and another v. M.Ramulu[1], wherein it was held that the workman within the definition of Section 2 (s) of the Industrial Disputes Act is entitled to receive from the employer any money or any benefit which is payable in terms of money and the application before the Labour Court under Section 33-C(2) is maintainable and the Labour Court has correctly allowed the claim for wages of the workman for the put-off duty period in M.P.NO.11 of 1997 dated 8.7.1998. In the facts and circumstances of the case and after perusing the aforesaid judgment of this Court, we are of the opinion that the principle laid down in the judgment would squarely cover the subject matter of this writ appeal and this Writ Appeal is liable to be dismissed. Accordingly, this Writ Appeal is dismissed and the order passed in M.P.No.11 of 1997 dated 8.7.1998 shall hold good. No order as to costs. __________________________ GHULAM MOHAMMED, J _______________________________ NOOTY RAMAMOHANA RAO, J 26.12.2011 Gsn. [1] 2000 (1) ALD 138
