THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE GHULAM MOHAMMED AND THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE NOOTY RAMAMOHANA RAO WRIT APPEAL NO.965 OF 2010 ORDER: (Per Hon’ble Sri Justice Ghulam Mohammed) This writ appeal has been filed by the A.P.S.R.T.C against the Judgment rendered in W.P.No.14381 of 2003 and batch, by a learned Single Judge. 2. The 1st Respondent was working as a Conductor on daily wage basis with the A.P.S.R.T.C. On the ground that, he has indulged in cash and ticket irregularities, he was put off duty with effect from 30.07.1992. Thereafter, the services of the first respondent-workman were not utilized. The first respondent-workman has filed an application M.P.No.34 of 2001 before the Labour Court II, Hyderabad, under Section 33 C(2) of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947. A calculation memo was filed showing his entitlement at Rs.3,654/- for the duration of the period he was put off duty. Thus, the Labour Court allowed the said petition. Challenging the correctness of the said order of the Labour Court, the writ petition has been moved by the A.P.S.R.T.C. 2. A Division Bench of this Court in Judgment rendered in B.A. Kumar Vs. A.P.S.R.T.C[1], held that the A.P.S.R.T.C is entitled to place its employees under suspension pending disciplinary proceedings and in such a case, the employee will be entitled to claim subsistence allowance. If, on the other hand, the employer prefers to put off the employee from duty, the employer will be under an obligation to pay him his normal wages. In the instant case, the first respondent-employee has been placed under put off duty and he has not been placed under suspension. Therefore, he will be entitled to full wages. In view of the Judgment rendered by this Court in B.A. Kumar’s case, the learned single Judge has rightly come to the conclusion that the writ petition deserves to be dismissed. We are in respectful agreement with the view entertained by the Division Bench in B.A. Kumar’s case. 4. Having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case, we are clearly of the firm opinion that the learned Single Judge has not committed any error and in view of the same the writ appeal is dismissed. No costs. _________________________________ JUSTICE GHULAM MOHAMMED _________________________________​______ JUSTICE NOOTY RAMAMOHANA RAO sp/knk 24.11.2011 THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE GHULAM MOHAMMED AND THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE NOOTY RAMAMOHANA RAO WRIT APPEAL NO.965 OF 2010 24th November, 2011 sp/knk [1] 2001 (1) ALD 553
