Counsel for the Petitioner: MR.G.VIDYASAGAR (In all the cases) Counsel for the Respondent No.1: GP FOR SOCIAL WELFARE (In all the cases) Counsel for the Respondent No.2: SRI A.KRISHNA RAO (In all the cases) The Court made the following: COMMON ORDER: In all the writ petitions, learned counsel appearing for the writ petitioners submits that he is unable to contact the petitioners to seek instructions regarding settlement of the dispute outside the Court. 2. In fact, upon suggestion of this Court and also as accepted by the counsel for the petitioners and the learned counsel for the respondent No.2, this Court has been granting adjournments in order to enable the parties to arrive at an amicable settlement. In spite of several opportunities being given, no information as regards compromise is forthcoming. That apart, today, the learned counsel for the petitioners represents before the Court that he has no instructions from his clients. Hence, the writ petitions are being disposed of on merits. 3. Though the writ petitions arise out of different awards passed by the Labour Court-I, Hyderabad, but as the facts are similar, all the writ petitions are disposed of by this common order. 4. In all the writ petitions, the termination of the workmen is the dispute before the Labour Court. All the writ petitions were filed challenging the different awards passed by the Labour Court. 5. The main grievance of the workmen in all the cases is that they were terminated orally without compliance of Section-25(f) of the Industrial Disputes Act. 6. The Labour Court having gone into the merits of the case and also relying upon the evidence on record, both oral and documentary, passed awards in favour of the workmen. The said awards are the subject matters in this present batch of writ petitions. The Labour Court has already gone into the merits of the case. Appraised the evidence on record, formed an opinion in favour of the workmen and passed the awards accordingly. 7. Therefore, this Court exercising its jurisdiction under Article-226 of the Constitution of India cannot reappraise the evidence on record. There is neither any material placed before this Court nor any arguments were advanced by the learned counsel for the petitioners showing justifiable reasons to set-aside the impugned awards passed by the Labour Court-I, Hyderabad. 8. For the foregoing reasons, I do not find any merits in the writ petitions and the same are liable to be dismissed. 9. Accordingly, the writ petitions are dismissed. No order as to costs. ________________ D.S.R.VARMA, J 16.09.2004 DR To 1. The Presiding Officer, Labour Court I, Hyderabad, II Floor,Chandra Vihar, M.J.Road, Hyderabad-1. 2.
