THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V. RAMULU W.P. No. 20569 of 2009 O R D E R: This writ petition is filed seeking a Mandamus declaring the action of respondents in not taking any action on the letter of the petitioner dated 8.6.2009 and not granting extension of superannuation to him as arbitrary and illegal; consequently, to direct the respondent to pass orders extending petitioner’s employment till completion of 60 years. It appears, petitioner is a workman within the meaning of Section 2(s) of the Industrial Disputes Act. While serving with 1st respondent as Senior Fitter, on the ground that he had attained the age of superannuation of 58 years, he was made to retire from service on 16.6.2009. Contending that he is a workman and entitled to continue up to 60 years, petitioner raised a dispute before 2nd respondent. The grievance of the petitioner is that 2nd respondent has not taken up the said dispute and not adjudicated upon the same by issuing notice to 1st respondent etc. Under those circumstances, without expressing any opinion on merits of the case, 2nd respondent is directed to take up the dispute raised by the petitioner and adjudicate upon the same after issuing notice to 1st respondent and, if the dispute ends in failure, report the same to the appropriate authority seeking to refer the matter to the concerned Industrial Tribunal for adjudication. The writ petition is accordingly disposed of. No order as to costs. JUSTICE C.V. RAMULU. Date: 23-6-2010. MVB.
