IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE, ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD FRIDAY, THE TWENTY NINETH DAY OF JULY TWO THOUSAND AND ELEVEN PRESENT THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE G.CHANDRAIAH W.P. No.17284 of 2003 BETWEEN: The District Malaria Officer and another … Petitioners and K.Yadagiri … Respondent THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE G.CHANDRAIAH W.P. No.17284 of 2003 ORDER: This writ petition is filed by the petitioner, District Malaria Officer, Nalgonda District, seeking for issuance of Writ of Certiorari calling for the records relating to the order dated 18.03.2000 passed in I.D. No.260 of 1996 by the Industrial Tribunal-cum-Labour Court-III, Hyderabad and to quash the same. The writ petitioner is the District Malaria Officer, Nalgonda District and the respondent is the workman. Brief facts of the case are that the workman filed I.D. No.260 of 1996 under Section 2A(2) of the (A.P. Amendment Act 32 of 87) Industrial Disputes Act, 1947 on the file of the Presiding Officer, Labour Court-III, Hyderabad seeking to reinstate him into service with continuity of service and back wages. The contention of the workman was that he joined in the service of the petitioner through employment exchange consequent to the interview held on 22.06.1985 and reported for duty on 24.06.1985. He was paid the wages at the rate of Rs.34/- and he worked continuously from 24.06.1985 to the end of 1987. During the month of January, 1988, his services were terminated orally by the petitioner. Therefore, he filed I.D. No.260 of 1996. The contention of the Department was that the workman had worked only 95 days in different spells during the year 1985 on daily wage basis to work in DDT/BHC spraying and he has not worked for 240 days in a calendar year. Having regard to the pleas taken by the parties before the Labour Court, the Labour Court passed the award directing the petitioner’s department to reinstate the workman into service on daily wage basis with continuity of service denying the back wages. Assailing the same, the petitioner department filed the present writ petition. Today, when the matter has been taken up for hearing, the learned counsel appearing for the workman placed a copy of the Proceedings dated 20.08.2009, issued by the District Medical and Health Officer, Nalgonda wherein, the services of the workman, along with others, were regularized in terms of the G.O.Ms. No.212/Fin. & Plg (PC-III), dated 22.04.1994. The learned counsel for the workman would submit that as the workman was not paid any wages from the date of passing of the award till the date of reinstatement, the workman filed execution petition before the Labour Court and the same was ordered, pursuant to which, half of the wages have been paid. In that view of the matter, taking into consideration the factum of regularization of the workman, his entitlement of reinstatement is modified to the extent that the workman is not entitled to any other relief with regard to payment of wages except the money already received by him. Accordingly, this writ petition is dismissed. There shall be no order as to costs. ________________________ JUSTICE G.CHANDRAIAH Date: 29.07.2011 LSK
