HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE N.RAVI SHANKAR W.P.No.26070 of 2001 Dated 2-12-2010 Between: D.Vinay Kumar. …Petitioner. And: A.P.S.R.T.C. represented by its Regional Manager, Nizamabad and another. …Respondents. HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE N.RAVI SHANKAR W.P.No.26070 of 2001 ORDER: The point that is raised in this writ petition is whether the petitioner who is a conductor of A.P.S.R.T.C. is entitled to wages/salary or emoluments from 21-12-1994 to 9-3-1995 and additionally another point that arises is whether this court has jurisdiction to entertain this writ petition and grant above relief. The points arise in the following circumstances. The petitioner was earlier ousted with the penalty of removal from service for some misconduct following a domestic enquiry by the Management of the A.P.S.R.T.C. That removal was questioned before the Industrial Tribunal-II at Hyderabad in I.D.No.14 of 1994. After a contest, the said I.D.No.14 of 1994 was partly allowed directing the reinstatement of the petitioner with continuity of service but without back wages. The grievance of the petitioner is that subsequently after the above award, he reported before A.P.S.R.T.C. authorities on 21-12-1994 seeking a posting but the A.P.S.R.T.C. authorities through Personnel Officer, Nizamabad gave him posting only on 9-3-1995. The petitioner says that from 21-12-1994 to 9-3-1995, he was kept under wait without giving posting and therefore he is entitled to wages for the said period. The grievance of the petitioner is that though he approached the A.P.S.R.T.C. authorities for payment of wages for the above period, the said authorities did not act upon his request and therefore, he filed this present writ petition for seeking this relief of payment of wages from 21-12-1994 to 9-3-1995. It may be noted that a conductor of A.P.S.R.T.C. is admittedly a workman and any dispute between him and the management of A.P.S.R.T.C. has to be treated as an Industrial Dispute. Consequently it follows that the petitioner should work out his remedy before the concerned Industrial Court or tribunal and he cannot straight away file a writ petition seeking the above relief. Respondents have not filed any counters. However, in the above circumstances, this writ petition is not maintainable and it is accordingly dismissed. No costs. It shall be open for the petitioner to work out any remedies before the concerned Industrial Court or Tribunal. _________________________ Justice N.RAVI SHANKAR Dated 2-12-2010.
