IN THE HIGH COURT OF KERALA AT ERNAKULAM PRESENT : THE HONOURABLE MR.

BY ADVS. SRI.A.V.XAVIER, SRI.JOLLY JOHN. RESPONDENT(S): -------------------------- 1. INDUSTRIAL TRIBUNAL, ALAPPUZHA. 2. SECRETARY, REGIONAL SPORTS CENTER, ELAMKULAM ROAD, KOCHI - 20. THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING BEEN FINALLY HEARD ON 20/07/2011, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: Kss P.N. RAVINDRAN, J. ------------------------------- W.P.(C) No.37081 of 2003 ------------------------------- Dated this the 20th day of July, 2011 J U D G M E N T This writ petition is filed challenging Ext.P2 award passed by the Industrial Tribunal, Alappuzha to the extent it reserves liberty with the management to proceed against the workman on the very same set of charges, if they are so adviced. Ext.P2 award was the subject matter of challenge by the management in W.P.(C) No.13697 of 2004. The petitioner herein was the first respondent in that writ petition. By Ext.P2 award, the Industrial Tribunal, Alappuzha held that the petitioner is entitled to be reinstated in service with all attendant benefits. It is brought to my notice that the dispute between the parties was settled at the Adalath held on 17.11.2008 and an award was passed on that day in W.P.(C) No.13697 of 2004 to the effect that in the event of the management paying the workman (the petitioner herein) the sum of Rs.70,000/- within one month from 17.11.2008, the award of the Industrial Tribunal will stand set aside. 2. When the writ petition came up for hearing today, the learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that the petitioner has received the sum of Rs.70,000/- in full and final settlement of his claims under the award and therefore, as Ext.P2 award is no longer in W.P.(C) No.37081 of 2003 2 force by virtue of the award passed by the Lok Adalath on 17.11.2008, no further orders are called for in this writ petition. In the light of the said submission, the writ petition is dismissed as infructuous with the observation that the rights of parties shall stand governed by the award passed by the Lok Adalath on 17.11.2008 in W.P.(C) No.13697 of 2004.
