vss IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CIVIL APPELLATE JURISDICTION WRIT PETITION NO.1998 OF 1996 WRIT PETITION NO.1998 OF 1996 WRIT PETITION NO.1998 OF 1996 Pune Municipal Transport, Pune ... Petitioner V/s. Shri Fakkad Mahadeo Thube ... Respondent Mr.R.G. Ketkar for Petitioner Mr.N.A. Kulkarni for Respondent CORAM: SMT.NISHITA SMT.NISHITA SMT.NISHITA MHATRE, J. MHATRE, J. MHATRE, J. DATED: JULY 3, 2007 JULY 3, 2007 JULY 3, 2007 P.C.: P.C.: P.C.: . This petition challenges the judgment of the Labour Court dated 19.12.1995. The Labour Court held that the Respondent who is a badli hangami rojandari workman must be treated as suspended when a ‘No duty’ order is issued. Consequently, subsistence allowance must be paid to the Respondent according to the Labour Court. By my judgment in Transport Manager v/s. Vilas Deokar, 2002 (94) FLR 772 2002 (94) FLR 772 2002 (94) FLR 772, I have already held that a badli hangami rojandari workman who is issued a ‘No duty’ order cannot be considered to be suspended. No subsistence allowance would be payable to such a workman. In view of that judgment, the impugned decision of the Labour Court is set aside. Rule made absolute accordingly. No costs.
