Therefore, according to the Labour Court if the application of the petitioner is entertained, it would amount to discrimination and therefore, the petition is not maintainable under Section 2-A (2) of the I.D. Act. 2. At the time of hearing, it is represented on both sides that under identical circumstances, similar order passed by the same Presiding Officer of the Labour Court was set aside in the case of A.Ilaiah v. APSRTC in W.P.No.6764 of 2005 dated 27-07-2005 and remanded the same to the Labour Court for fresh consideration and disposal on merits. In view of the said order passed by this Court, the learned counsel for the petitioner sought for the same order. 3. Heard both sides and considered the material on record. 4. As the application was rejected as not maintainable which this Court found as incorrect as per the decision referred to above, the impugned order is set aside and the matter is restored to the file of the Labour Court II, Hyderabad for fresh consideration and disposal in accordance with law on merits. 5. The writ petition is accordingly disposed of. No order as to costs. __________________ S.ANANDA REDDY, J 16th August, 2005 SKM
