By these orders, the respondents have taken a decision to shut down a Unit, on the ground that the Unit, which is a Thermal Station, had completed 38 years of operation. This was nearer to seashore. The Unit was designed for producing 260 Mega Units of power per annum. But from the year 2000-2001, its average generation came down to 22 to 25 Mega Units. Since it was nearer to the seashore, the concrete structures were in a dilapidated condition and the Unit was not cost-effective. The petitioners, who are working in the Unit, have filed this writ petition. The only apprehension of petitioners is that with the closure of the Unit, they may lose their jobs and it is contended that the respondents have not come up with any scheme for accommodating the members of the petitioner-Union. The learned counsel for respondents, who is present, submits that there is no question of framing any scheme, as the respondents are not removing/retiring any of its employees. They are running many Thermal Power Units in the State and the employees would be suitably adjusted in different units. In view of the submissions made by the learned counsel for respondents, we do not think any further orders are needed to be passed in this writ petition, which is accordingly dismissed. No order as to costs. __________________ (BILAL NAZKI, ACJ) 27th September 2005. _____________________ (R.SUBHASH REDDY, J) ajr
