JUSTICE T.MEENA KUMARI AND THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE SANJAY KUMAR WRIT APPEAL NO.597 OF 2009 ORAL JUDGMENT: (Per Hon’ble Sri Justice Sanjay Kumar) The Andhra Pradesh State Road Transport Coporation is in appeal before us challenging the order dated 20.11.2008 in Writ Petition No.18624 of 1999. By the said order, the learned single Judge dismissed the writ petition, confirming the Award dated 27.08.1998 passed by the Labour Court-II, Hyderabad, in I.D. No.74 of 1995. We have perused the record and heard the learned counsel appearing for the appellant-Corporation. The order of the learned single Judge and the Award of the Labour Court clearly reveal that no evidence was placed on record throughout, by the appellant Corporation, to make out it’s case against the first respondent Conductor. The Labour Court recorded a finding that the first respondent Conductor claimed that no proper opportunity was given to him in the domestic enquiry, but in spite of the same, the appellant Corporation did not choose to adduce any evidence or examine any witnesses before the Labour Court. In the light of the same, it is not open to the appellant Corporation to canvass the validity of the Award of the Labour Court, as confirmed by the learned Judge, on facts in this appeal. We therefore find no merit in the writ appeal, which is accordingly dismissed at the stage of admission. There shall be no order as to costs. ______________________ T.MEENA KUMARI, J ____________________ SANJAY KUMAR, J 15th June, 2009. VGSR/PGS
