THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.RAMULU W.P.No.6815 of 2000 ORAL ORDER: Heard both sides. This writ petition is filed seeking a Certiorari to call for the records relating to order passed in M.P.No.70 of 1994 dated 20.12.1999 on the file of the Industrial Tribunal-cum-Labour Court, Warangal and quash the same as arbitrary and illegal. Petitioner is workman and first respondent is management. It appears, petitioner filed a petition under Section 33-C(2) of Industrial Disputes Act, 1947 seeking to determine the amounts payable to him and to direct the respondents to pay the same. It was the case of the petitioner that he was reinstated into service with 25% backwages and continuity of service as per I.D.No.269 of 1987. The grievance of the petitioner was that his pay was fixed at Rs.1,170/- instead of Rs.1,480/-, therefore, he is entitled for differential amount of Rs.45,858/- for the period from 28.12.1989 to 31.8.1993. The respondents have filed a detailed counter denying the allegations made by the petitioner. During the pendency of enquiry, an Advocate Commissioner was appointed. The Advocate-Commissioner, after inspecting the records of the respondent-management, submitted his report stating that the petitioner was inflicted with several punishments during the period when he was not in service, but they could not be implemented in view of his removal from service. On his reinstatement with continuity of service, management thought of implementing the same and in fact while implementing the same, his pay was fixed at Rs.1,170/-. According to the petitioner, he is entitled for fixation of his pay at Rs.1,480/-, which seems to be not correct As the petitioner was out of service because of his termination from service, punishments inflicted upon him could not be implemented. Merely because the termination of the petitioner has been set aside, it cannot be said that the petitioner is absolved of the punishments inflicted upon him earlier and the respondents cannot inflict the said punishments. Under those circumstances, I am of the opinion that the Labour Court has not committed any error calling interference of this Court under Article 226 of the Constitution of India. The writ petition is devoid of merits and liable to be dismissed. Accordingly the writ petition is dismissed. No order as to costs. _____________ C.V.RAMULU, J Date: 6.2.2008 DA THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.RAMULU W.P.No.6815 of 2000 6.2.2008 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE OF ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.
