The said I.D. was instituted by the first respondent, a former Conductor in the APSRTC. By order dated 29.04.2009, this Court granted the APSRTC two weeks time for taking steps to effect service upon the first respondent Conductor. This order further stipulated that in default the writ petition would stand dismissed against the first respondent without further reference to the Court. Owing to the failure on the part of the APSRTC in this regard, the said order was given effect to and the writ petition, as obtaining presently, stands dismissed against the first respondent. The validity of the Award under challenge cannot be adjudicated in the absence of the first respondent who was the petitioner before the Labour Court. The Writ Petition is therefore dismissed in its entirety. No order as to costs. ____________________ SANJAY KUMAR, J. 4TH OCTOBER, 2010. VGSR/PGS
