By the said order, the writ petition filed by the Andhra Pradesh State Road Transport Corporation (A.P.S.R.T.C.) was allowed in part setting aside the direction of the Labour Court in I.D.No.63 of 2001 to pay 50% back wages to the 1st respondent therein. The award dated 07.01.2004, to the extent that it directed re-instatement along with continuity of service for the purpose of retirement benefits and modified the punishment of removal of service to that of stoppage of two annual increments for cumulative effect, stood confirmed. The grievance of the 1st respondent is that the A.P.S.R.T.C. is not implementing the said award to the extent that it stood confirmed by this Court. This grievance would necessarily have to be addressed by the 1st respondent either by way of seeking execution under Section 11(b) of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947 or by way of other appropriate proceedings in accordance with law. A contempt case would not lie for securing the implementation of the award and at that, when the writ petition was allowed in part in favour of the A.P.S.R.T.C. The contempt case is accordingly dismissed leaving it open to the petitioner herein to work out his remedies in accordance with law. __________________ SANJAY KUMAR, J 15th November 2010 lmv
