The Court made the following Order: W P NO.20061 OF 1994 The present writ petition is directed against the award in I.D.No.185 of 1992, dated 7-4-1994 on the file of Industrial Tribunal cum Labour Court, Warangal. It is contended by the learned counsel for the petitioner that a common award was passed by the Industrial Tribunal cum Labour Court in ID No.184 of 1992, dated 25-3-1994 and batch. Against the award in I.D.No.184 of 1992, the petitioner therein filed writ petition No.20051 of 1994 before this Court. This Court by an order dated 25-7-2002 allowed the writ petition by remanding the matter to the Labour Court with a direction to dispose of the ID as early as possible, preferably not later than 4 months from the date of commencement of the proceedings and an opportunity was also given to the respondents 3 & 4 therein to file a petition to amend their application. It is fairly conceded by the learned counsel for the both parties that the subject matter involved in this writ petition is identical to the one decided by this Court in writ petition No.20051 of 1994. As this Court has already set aside the award in I.D.No.184 of 1992, this writ petition is also allowed in terms and for the reasons given in the order passed by this court in W.P.No.20051 of 1994, dated 25-2-1994. No costs. The Rule nisi has been made absolute as above.
