Suresh Vishnu Dhage. ..Petitioner. vs. Maharashtra State Road Transport Corporation. ..Respondent. .... Ms. Heena Mistry, i/b. A.D. Shetty, for Petitioner. None for Respondents. .... CORAM : S.J. KATHAWALLA, J. DATE : 1ST AUGUST 2011. P.C. : By this Writ Petition, the Petitioner has challenged the Award passed by the Fourth Labour Court, Mumbai, dated 28th January 2008 i.e. after almost three years from the date of the Award. By the said Award, the Petitioner was ordered to be reinstated with continuity of service w.e.f. 8th March 1995. The back wages were not granted because the Labour Court reached a finding that the Petitioner was gainfully employed and is not entitled to back wages in view of his admission that he was bringing work at his house and doing the same. 2. Thereafter, the Petitioner was immediately reinstated. The Petitioner retired from the services of the Respondent – Corporation in April 2011. Just prior to his retirement, the Petitioner has on 15th January 2011 filed the present Writ Petition impugning the Award dated 28th January 2008 on the ground that he was not awarded any back wages. Not a whisper is found in the Writ Petition as to why the Petitioner has impugned the Award after three years. 2 29.wp-654-11 The only ground taken is that the Presiding Officer has not given any reasons for not granting any back wages. This submission is incorrect on the face of the Award as the learned Presiding Officer has given reasons for not granting the back wages. 3. In view thereof, no case is made out for any interference under Article 226 of the Constitution of India. The Writ Petition is accordingly dismissed. [ S.J. KATHAWALLA, J. ]
