HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE GHULAM MOHAMMED AND HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE SANJAY KUMAR WRIT APPEAL NO. 1248 OF 2005 Between: R. Srinivasulu, S/o Venkata Swamy ………….Appellant AND The District Cooperative Officer, Ananthapur and two others ………….Respondents JUDGMENT: (Per Hon'ble Sri Justice Ghulam Mohammed) Challenging the order-dated 30.8.2004 passed in Writ Petition No. 10289 of 2003 (W.P.No. 3171 of 2003 and batch) by a learned Single Judge of this Court, the present Writ Appeal is filed. The main grievance of the appellant is that his pay scale cannot be reduced and he is entitled for the existing salaries without any retrenchment and without any reduction of salaries without reference to Section 116-C(1) of Primary Agricultural Cooperative Societies Act (for short “the Act”). Therefore, the learned Single Judge of this Court observed while dismissing the batch of writ petitions that there is no illegality either in the guidelines or in the circulars issued from time to time and to implement the mandatory provision, the concerned societies have to necessarily take appropriate action for fixing the staffing pattern, pay and allowances and in that process, it is open for them to retrench/remove the surplus employees who are working contrary to the provisions of Section 116-C(1) of the Act. The learned Judge further directed that if any employee is retrenched or terminated contrary to the provisions of Section 25-F of the Industrial Disputes Act or Section 47 of the A.P. Shops and Establishments Act, as the case may be, it is open for him to seek appropriate relief provided under the said Acts. In view of the above direction, as still remedy is open to the appellant at this stage to seek appropriate relief, if he is retrenched or terminated contrary to the provisions of Section 25 F of the Industrial Disputes Act or Section 47 of the A.P. Shops and Establishments Act, four weeks time is granted from the date of receipt of a copy of this order, to the appellant to avail the remedy provided under law. Accordingly the Writ Appeal is disposed of. There shall be no order as to costs. ________________________ GHULAM MOHAMMED, J _____________________ SANJAY KUMAR, J DATE: 13.10.2011 KA ...
