THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No. 12142 OF 2008 O R D E R: The petitioner claims that he was employed as a Reporter, in Andhra Prabha Telugu Daily, since July 2003. He states that he has been retrenched from service in February 2007, without any basis. He submits that though he got issued a notice through an Advocate, seeking reinstatement, the 4th respondent has not taken any action. Ultimately, he seeks the relief, in the form of a direction to the 4th respondent, to reinstate him into service. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and learned Government Pleader for Labour. Even if the facts pleaded by the petitioner in the affidavit filed in support of the writ petition are taken as true, it amounts to a case of retrenchment of the petitioner from service. Whether or not any relationship of employee and employer is existed, between the petitioner and 4th respondent, and if so, whether the claim of the petitioner accords with law, are the questions that need to be examined by the Labour Court. Necessary evidence can be adduced by both the parties and the Labour Court is better suited, even to frame the relief. Under these circumstances, the writ petition is dismissed, leaving it open to the petitioner, to approach the Labour Court. In view of the fact that the petitioner is said to be without any employment, it is directed that as and when the petitioner raises an Industrial Dispute, the concerned Labour Court shall endeavour to dispose of the same, as early as possible. There shall be no order as to costs. ________________ 13th June 2008 PAN
