THE HON’BLE MR JUSTICE L. NARASIMHA REDDY Writ Petition No.78 of 2004 ORDER: The petitioner was employed, as Conductor, in the A.P.S.R.T.C., in the year 1980. He was removed from service, on disciplinary grounds, on 06.09.1984. The petitioner raised an industrial dispute, being I.D.No.23 of 1989, before the Labour Court, against the order of removal. The Labour Court passed an award, directing reinstatement of the petitioner as fresh candidate with continuity of service, but without back wages. Accordingly, the petitioner was reinstated in May 1990. Complaining that he was not extended all benefits in terms of the award, the petitioner filed W.P.No.22689 of 2002. The same was allowed on 14.01.2002. When the directions were not implemented, he filed C.C.No.1369 of 2003. At that stage, the respondents implemented the directions issued by this Court in W.P.No.22689 of 2002. This writ petition is filed alleging that the respondents have not extended the benefit of stagnation increments etc. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned Standing Counsel for the respondents. The petitioner availed the remedy in the form of industrial dispute, feeling aggrieved by the order of removal. Relief of reinstatement, with continuity of service, but without back wages, was granted. When the same was not implemented in accordance with law, the petitioner filed W.P.No.22689 of 2002. The result of the writ petition was that the petitioner was extended the benefit of notional increment. The grievance, which is now pointed out in this writ petition, was very much existing at that time. Either he has not chosen to claim that relief, or is deemed to have claimed, but rejected by this Court. He cannot split the cause of action and file separate writ petitions for different facets of the same grievance. It is also brought to the notice of this Court that the petitioner has since retired from service. The Writ Petition is accordingly dismissed. There shall be no order as costs. _____________________ L. NARASIMHA REDDY, J. Dt.11.11.2010. GJ
