THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE G.CHANDRAIAH W.P.NO.7510 OF 2001 O R D E R Heard both the counsel. 2. Aggrieved by the award dated 28.07.2000 passed by the Industrial Tribunal – cum – Labour Court, Godavarikhani in I.D.No.66/1991 in dismissing the I.D. and thereby conﬁrming the order of removal passed by the respondent – The Depot Manager, Andhra Pradesh State Road Transport Corporation Mancherial, Karimnagar District, the workman who was working as Conductor, ﬁled the present writ petition. 3. The case of the petitioner is that he was appointed as conductor in the respondent – Corporation in the year 1984 and on the alleged ground of cash and ticket irregularities, he was removed from service on 28.4.1990 and challenging the same, he raised I.D.No.66/1991 and by order dated 29.11.1991 the same was dismissed. Aggrieved by the same, he ﬁled W.P.No.3745/1992 and by order dated 12.7.1999, this court while setting aside the award of the Tribunal, remitted the matter for fresh adjudication. Now the grievance of the petitioner is that he has disputed the domestic enquiry on the ground of violation of principles of natural justice, but the Tribunal after remand, without issuing any notice to the petitioner, again dismissed his claim and, therefore, he seeks to set aside the impugned award. 4. The respondent – Corporation ﬁled counter and supporting the impugned award sought to dismiss the writ petition. 5. From a perusal of the impugned award, it could be seen that on 27.6.2000, 30.6.2000 and 7.7.2000 as the petitioner was not present and there was no representation on his behalf, the Tribunal after hearing the counsel for the respondents, passed the impugned award dismissing the I.D. There is no reference with regard to serving of any notice on the petitioner after the matter was remitted by this court. 6. Further, the learned counsel, for the petitioner submitted that the petitioner died during the pendency of the writ petition and his legal representatives were brought on record by order dated 6.6.2002 in WPMP.No.8625/2002 in W.P.No.7510/2001. 7. In view of the above, I am of the considered opinion that the impugned award was passed without serving any notice on the petitioner and accordingly I feel it appropriate to remit the matter back to the Tribunal to pass orders afresh in exercise of the jurisdiction under Section 11-A of the Industrial Disputes Act. 8. For the foregoing reasons, the impugned award is set aside and the matter is remitted back to the Tribunal to dispose of the same afresh after issuing notice to the legal representatives of the petitioner. 9. The writ petition is accordingly disposed of. No costs. AVS ----------------------------------- 18—10—2008
