THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE N.V.RAMANA Writ Petition No.9676 of 2006 Dated:6th June, 2006 Between: K.Ramaiah. …..PETITIONER AND The Presiding Officer, Labour Court-II, Hyderabad & another. ….RESPONDENTS THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE N.V.RAMANA W.P.No.9676 of 2006 ORDER: This writ petition is filed assailing the award of the Labour Court passed in I.D.No.90/1995, dated 23-2-1999, and consequently to set aside the same. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner as also the learned Government Pleader for Labour. The Labour Court passed the award on 23-2-1999, and the petitioner is challenging the award after a lapse of nearly seven years three months and odd, and the learned counsel for the petitioner is unable to explain satisfactory reasons for not challenging the award all these years. From a perusal of the award it is clear that the Additional District Magistraste, Medak who enquired into the charge by proceedings dated 13-7-1992 stated that the petitioner belongs to Kummari Caste, and based on the proceedings dated 13-7-1992, the 2nd respondent dismissed the petitioner from service by proceedings No.GM (P)/1879812/95 dated 18-2-1995. The Labour while dismissing the appeal, however, took a lenient view and directed the respondents to consider the case of the petitioner for appointment in B.C category, if any vacancies are notified in the BC category, by relaxing the age, and to allow the petitioner to appear for the examination. In the above view of the matter, I do not find any infirmity or irregularity in the award passed by the Labour Court in I.D.No.90 of 1995, dated 23-2-1999. The writ petition is liable to be dismissed and is accordingly dismissed. No costs. ___________________ (N.V. RAMANA, J.) Date:6th June, 2006. GRK
