Petitioner And The State of Andhra Pradesh, Represented by District Collector, Visakhapatnam District and others .. Respondents Counsel for petitioner : Sri P. Shashi Kiran Counsel for respondent Nos.1 to 4 : None appeared Counsel for respondent No.5 : Sri K.Venkatesh Gupta The Court made the following: ORDER: The petitioner, which is an Association, claiming to be espousing the cause of the Palamoori labour, filed this Writ Petition with the allegation that respondent No.5 having engaged such labour for Bus Road Transit System from 15- 11-2009 to 28-9-2010 has not been paying wages to one hundred labourers. Respondent No.5 filed a counter-affidavit wherein it has denied any dues payable to any of the labourers. A perusal of the affidavit filed in support of the Writ Petition shows that no details have been furnished by the petitioner as to the claims of the labourers and the amounts due in respect of each of them. In the absence of such details, it is not possible for this court to decide as to whether respondent No.5 is liable to pay any amount to the labourers. Inasmuch as the labourers to whom the amounts are allegedly due by respondent No.5 are illiterates who cannot espouse their cause asserting their claims, it is appropriate that respondent Nos.2 and 3 examine their grievance after notice to the petitioner and respondent No.5. The petitioner is permitted to submit the details of the amounts allegedly payable by respondent No.5. Within one month of receiving such details, respondent No.3 shall issue notice to the petitioner and respondent No.5 and take appropriate decision. If it is found that respondent No.5 is liable to pay any amounts to the labourers, respondent No.3 shall pass an order and take appropriate steps for deduction of any amount that may be payable to it either through the running bills or from the E.M.D. or other deposits available with Greater Visakhapatnam Municipal Corporation in connection the subject work. Subject to the above directions, the Writ Petition is disposed of. As a sequel WPMP No.12527/2011 is dismissed as infructuous. ________________________ Justice C.V. Nagarjuna Reddy Date : 25-8-2011 AM
