Shyam Sunder Reddy and another. ....Respondents THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE K.C.BHANU CIVIL MISCELLANEOUS APPEAL No.811 of 2011 JUDGMENT: 1. This appeal is filed aggrieved by the order dated 24.09.2003 passed by the Commissioner for Workmen’s Compensation & Assistant Commissioner of Labour, Hyderabad-II, whereunder and whereby, the claim made by the first respondent/applicant for compensation for the injuries sustained by him during the course of his employment with second respondent was allowed. 2. Heard both sides. 3. The factual matrix is not in dispute. The first respondent was working as a driver of the lorry bearing No.AP 24 U 6568, which is a public transport vehicle with the 2nd respondent herein. 4. The only grievance of the appellant is that the Commissioner applied G.O.Ms.No.81 for the purpose of calculation of compensation, but the same is not applicable to Public Transport Workers. The learned Commissioner applied G.O.Ms.No.81 for the purpose of calculating the wages of claimant. Admittedly, the said G.O is applicable to Private Motor Transport Workers. Insofar as Public Transport workers are concerned, G.O.Ms.No.30 Labour, Employment, Training and Factories (Lab-II) Department, dated 27.7.2000 which came into effect on 27.7.2000, is applicable, and in view of that G.O, the basic wages have to be taken into consideration as Rs.2,587/-. Variable dearness allowance comes to Rs.840/-. Therefore, monthly wages comes to Rs.3,427/-, if it is calculated at Rs.3427/- X 60% X 50% X Rs.216.91 which comes to Rs.2,23,005/-. Therefore, the order of the Tribunal is modified granting the wages of Rs.2,23,005/- along with costs of Rs.1,500/-. 4. Accordingly, the Civil Miscellaneous Appeal is allowed. No order as to costs. ______________ K.C.BHANU,J Date:03.08.2011. Gk. THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE K.C. BHANU CIVIL MISCELLANEOUS APPEAL No.811 of 2011 Date: 03.08.2011 Gk.
