HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE B. PRAKASH RAO AND HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE DR. G.YETHIRAJULU W.A. NO.1521 OF 2005 Date: 31st August 2005 Between: National Mazdoor Union, APSRTC, Karimnagar-I Deport, represented by its Member Ch. Sanjeevaiah, Karimnagar District. Appellant/petitioner 1. Principal Secretary to Govt, Labour Employment, Training and Factories Department, A.P. Secretariat, Hyderabad and another. Respondents. JUDGMENT: (per the Hon’ble Sri Justice B. PRAKASH RAO) Heard both sides and at their request this appeal is taken up for disposal at the stage of admission. The appellant is the Union, which has taken up the case of the workman as against the imposition of punishment of deferment of annual increments with cumulative effect. As there was a failure before the Conciliation Officer, the matter was referred to the Government for making appropriate reference. The Government passed an order on 2.11.2001 rejecting the reference. Aggrieved by the same the Union filed Writ Petition and a learned single Judge of this court also confirmed the said order by an order dated 22.6.2005. Hence, the present Writ Appeal. After considering the submissions made and also on perusal of the material on record, it is seen that there is absolutely no proper explanation is forthcoming on behalf of the appellant herein for such a long delay. Moreover, having regard to the nature of punishment, we do not find any justification to interfere with the order. Hence, we do not find any merit in the appeal and accordingly, the same is dismissed. No order as to costs. ____________________ B. PRAKAHS RAO,J _______________________ DR. G.
