THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE NOOTY RAMAMOHANA RAO W.P.Nos.26258 & 26259 of 2003 COMMON ORDER: The learned counsel appearing on either side would submit that the cause raised in these two writ petitions is covered by the common Judgment rendered by a Division Bench of this Court in W.A.No.1910 of 2005 and batch, dated 28-07-2009, wherein the Division Bench has set aside the order of removal passed against the Appellant-workmen and they were directed to be reinstated into service, if they have not retired already. The Bench has also imposed the punishment of stoppage of two increments with cumulative effect for that portion of the proven misconduct against them. The writ petitioners, therefore, seek the same relief as was granted by the Division Bench. The learned Standing Counsel also submits that the decision of the Division Bench, referred to supra, is applicable to the present case also. Hence, following the Judgment rendered by the Division Bench in W.A.No.1910 of 2005 and batch, dated 28-07-2009, both the writ petitions are allowed by setting aside the orders of removal passed by the respondent- management against them. The writ petitioner are directed to be reinstated back to service immediately, if they have not already attained the age of superannuation by now. Further, the writ petitioners be imposed the punishment of stoppage of two increments with cumulative effect for that portion of the proven misconduct against them. In the result, both the writ petitions are, accordingly, allowed to the extent indicated above. No costs. -------------------------------- Nooty Ramamohana Rao, J mrk 23rd October 2009 .....
