RAO Counsel for the Respondent No.1: MR.T.S.VENKATARAMANA Counsel for the Respondent No.2: GP for Labour The Court made the following : JUDGMENT: ( Per the Hon’ble Smt Justice T.Meena Kumari) These writ appeals are filed by the appellants-Corporation against the common order passed by a learned single Judge of this Court in W.P.Nos.5574, 5638, 6286, 6505 and 15501 of 2000, dated 21.02.2002. The learned Single Judge has allowed the said writ petitions filed by the respondents-writ petitioners relying upon the Judgment of a Division Bench of this Court in W.A.No.262 of 2000, dated 4th December, 2000. The learned Judge while setting aside the orders of removal, directed the appellants herein to reinstate the writ petitioners into service afresh after obtaining an undertaking that they will be careful, cautious and diligent in discharge of their duties in future. The learned Judge has directed the writ petitioners to file their undertakings before the competent authority within a period of one month from the date of receipt of the orders and on receipt of the same, the competent authority was directed to reinstate the writ petitioners into service forthwith and that those appointments shall be treated as fresh appointments. Aggrieved by the same, the present writ appeals have been filed by the appellants-Corporation. Learned counsel for the respondents-writ petitioners has contended that the matters are covered by the Division Bench Judgment of this Court referred to hereinabove. On the other hand, learned counsel for the appellants-Corporation has contended that the matters are not covered by the Division Bench judgment of this Court in view of the fact that the Industrial Disputes have been disposed of independently. Heard the learned counsel on either side. Perused the material available on record. It is not in dispute that the earlier Division Bench of this Court has dealt with similar matter and directed the Corporation to appoint the workman afresh as a conductor provided the workman files an affidavit to the effect that he would be diligent, honest, sincere and faithful in discharge of his duties in future. Learned counsel for the appellants-Corporation has submitted that the Corporation has already implemented the orders passed by this Court in W.P.Nos.36009 of 1998, 21153 of 1999,21114 of 1999,11493 of 1998 and 26855 of 2000. In view of the fact that the appellants-Corporation has already implemented the orders passed in the said writ petitions and the Judgment rendered in W.A.No.262 of 2000 confirming the order in W.P.No.11493 of 1998 has become final, we do not find any reason to interfere with the common order passed by the learned Single Judge of this Court. The writ appeals are accordingly dismissed. The appellants-Corporation is directed to implement the order passed by the learned Single Judge of this Court in W.P.Nos.5574, 5638, 6286, 6505 and 15501 of 2000 dated 21.2.2002, within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. ________________ (T.Meena Kumari,J) ___________________ (P.Lakshmana Reddy,J) 7.6.2005 rkk/lvl Copy to 1.The APSRTC, rep., by its Regional Manager, Vizianagaram. 2.The APSRTC rep., by its Depot Manager, Vizianagaram Depot, Vizianagaram. 3.The Presiding Officer-cum-Chairman, Industrial Tribunal-cum-Labour Court, Visakhapatnam. 4.
