HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No. 22850 OF 2010. DATED 17TH SEPTEMBER, 2010. BETWEEEN S.Shankar …Petitioner And The APSRTC, rep. By Managing Director, Musheerbad, Hyderbad and ors. . …..Respondents. HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No. 22850 OF 2010. ORDER: The petitioner was initially appointed as a Driver in the Uppal Depot of APSRTC, in the year 1995. An accident took place in the year 2001, when the petitioner was driving the Bus. After conducting enquiry, the Corporation removed the petitioner from service. After exhausting departmental remedies, the petitioner raised I.D. No. 84 of 2002 before the Additional Labour Court, Hyderabad (for short ‘the Labour Curt’). An award was passed on 21.3.2005, setting aside the order of removal and directing reinstatement of the petitioner into service with continuity of service, 50% backwages and attendant beneﬁts. The award is said to have become ﬁnal with the dismissal of the Writ Petition ﬁled by the Corporation, against it. The grievance of the petitioner is that the respondents are not fixing his pay by adding notional increments, in accordance with the Award. Heard the learned Counsel for the petitioner and the learned Standing Counsel for the respondents- Corporation. The Labour Court granted the relief of reinstatement into service with continuity of service and 50% back wages. It naturally would result in re- ﬁxation of pay of the petitioner on his reinstatement. There cannot be any justiﬁcation for the respondents in continuing the petitioner in the same scale of pay, which he was drawing, at the time of removal from service. Hence, the Writ Petition is allowed, and the respondents are directed to re-ﬁx the pay of the petitioner in accordance with the Award passed by the Labour Court, in I.D.No. 84 of 2002, dated 21.03.2005, within six weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. There shall be no order as to costs. ------------------------------------------------ JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY 17T H SEPTEMBER, 2010. Msnr.
