IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE, ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD (Special Original Jurisdiction) THURSDAY, THE TWENTY FIFTH DAY OF NOVEMBER TWO THOUSAND AND TEN PRESENT THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE VILAS V. AFZULPURKAR WRIT PETITION No.15785 of 2001 BETWEEN K. Rayamallu. ... PETITIONER AND Industrial Tribunal-cum-Labour Court and another. ...RESPONDENTS Counsel for the Petitioner: MR. G. RAVI MOHAN Counsel for the Respondents: MR. K. SRINIVAS MURTHY The Court made the following order: ORDER: The award of the Industrial Tribunal-cum-Labour Court, Godavarikhani in I.D.No.85 of 1997 dated 18.12.2000 is questioned in this writ petition by the petitioner/employee, inter alia, on the ground that no reasons are forthcoming and there is no discussion on any of the points in the impugned award. 2. Learned counsel for the petitioner relies upon decision of this Court in P.F. KHAN v. DEPOT MANAGER APSRTC, ANANTHAPUR [1] as well as another judgment of this Court in WP No.24815 of 2000 dated 15.11.2008 for the proposition that identical unreasoned awards were set aside by this Court. 3. The award impugned herein shows that while discussing the point the tribunal has given details of the exhibits marked and has concluded that the petitioner was gross negligent in his duties and thereby the charges as well as the punishment was held valid. I am also of the view that the manner in which the award is passed left several things to be desired. Following the decisions, referred to above, I am constrained to set aside the award and remand I.D.No.85 of 1997 for reconsideration by the Industrial Tribunal, Godavarikhani. Since, the removal order is dated 27.08.1992, the industrial tribunal shall endeavour to dispose off the ID expeditiously within a period of two (2) months from the date of receipt of copy of this order. Writ petition is accordingly allowed. There shall be no order as to costs. _____________________ VILAS V. AFZULPURKAR, J November 25, 2010 DSK [1] 2008 (3) ALT 234
