HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.27226 OF 2010 Between: U.Venkataiah …. Petitioner and The Divisional Manager (Dy.CTM), APSRTC, and another …. Respondents This court made the following: HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.27226 OF 2010 ORDER: The petitioner was employed as conductor in the A.P.S.R.T.C., way back on 19.02.1980. A check was caused when he was conducting services on 11.12.2008. It emerged that instead of issuing a combination ticket of Rs.10/- + Rs.1/-, the petitioner issued only the ticket of Rs.1/- denomination. A charge sheet was issued and a departmental enquiry was conducted. Through order, dated 27.05.2009, the Depot Manager-3rd respondent directed removal of the petitioner from the service. In a review filed before the Regional Manager, Nalgonda-2nd respondent, an order, dated 16.02.2010, was passed directing that the petitioner be reinstated into service as fresh conductor for the purpose of pay fixation, but was extended the benefit of past service. The petitioner feels aggrieved by the condition imposed by the 2nd respondent. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and also the learned Standing Counsel for the respondents. The petitioner was removed from service by the 3rd respondent on the allegation of cash and ticket irregularities. Substantial relief was granted to him by the 2nd respondent in a review. If the petitioner is not satisfied with the relief, he has to avail the remedy under Section 2(A)(2) of the Industrial Disputes Act. The Labour court is conferred under ample power under Section 11(A) of that Act to grant relief, even if the charges are found to have been proved. The power of this court under Article 226 of the Constitution of India is relatively restricted. Hence, the writ petition is disposed of. It is open for the petitioner to avail the remedy of industrial dispute. There shall be no order as to costs. ______________________ L.NARASIMHA REDDY, J 8th November 2010 lmv
