Counsel for the Petitioner:MR.K.SRINIVASAMURTHY Counsel for the Respondent No.1: GP FOR LABOUR Counsel for the respondent No.2: Mr.R.N.Reddy The Court made the following : O R D E R: The writ petition is filed under Article 226 of the Constitution of India seeking a writ of Certiorari to declare the order dated 15-02-1994 in I.D.No.77 of 1989 passed by the 1st respondent as illegal and arbitrary. 2 . The workman-M.Balaraju who is the 2nd respondent herein, was working as Tyndal Supervisor at the Workshop of the management. It is stated that certain complaints were received by the management against the workman as he has contravened the rules and regulations governed in allotment of quarters and also standing orders of the Company. In view of the same, the management, as a measure of punishment, suspended the 2nd respondent-workman for a period of ten days i.e. from 10-04-1987 to 25-04-1987. The matter was carried before the Presiding Officer, Industrial Tribunal-I, Hyderabad in I.D.No.77 of 1989. The Presiding Officer, after considering the respective contentions, by an award dated 15-02-1994, held that the suspension of the workman for the period from 10-04-1987 to 25-04-1987 was not justified and consequently directed the Manaagement to pay full wages to the workman -2nd respondent. Against the said order, the present writ petition has been filed. 3. On a perusal of the order impugned, it is clear that the 1st respondent-Tribunal categorically held that the action of the Management in suspending the 2nd respondent-workman from service with effect from 16-04-1987 to 25-04-1987 and in not paying his full wages for the said period was not justified and consequently directed the management to pay wages to him for the said period. 4. I have heard the learned counsel for both the parties. 5. I am afraid, the management ought not to have filed the writ petition at all. What was directed by the Tribunal to the management was to pay full wages to the workman for 10 days instead of suspension of wages. Therefore, I am not inclined to interfere with the said findings of the Tribunal. 6. Accordingly, the writ petition is dismissed. No costs. _________ 27-01-2005.
