ANJARIA FOR MR. SN SHELAT for Petitioner MR HK RATHOD for Respondent No. 1 -------------------------------------------------------------- CORAM : MR.JUSTICE R.A.MEHTA Date of decision: 26/12/97 ORAL JUDGEMENT The respondent conductor was dismissed from service. He raised a dispute before the Labour Court and he was directed to be reinstated to his original post with continuity of service but without backwages. At the time of admission of this petition, the High Court has directed that the workman be appointed with effect from 6.12.1985 as a fresh appointment. Of course it was without prejudice to the rights and contentions of the parties and subject to the present petition. Having regard to the facts of the case including the finding of the Labour Court about recovery of the fare from the passengers and non-issuance of fare tickets, proper punishment ought to have been imposed. It is, therefore, directed that the award of the Labour Court be modified by directing that his four future increments be stopped from now onwards without cumulative effect. Rule is made absolute. 00000 pkn.
