HONOURABLE THE ACTING CHIELF JUSTICE SRI B.PRAKASH RAO & HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE V.SURI APPA RAO W.A. No.884 of 2010 Dated 19-11-2010 Between: Indian Federation of Port & Dock Workers, rep. by its General Secretary, Kandala Prabhakara Rao, Visakhapatnam. ……..Petitioners Vs. The Government of India, Transport Department, Ministry of Shipping, rep. by its Secretary, Transport Bhavan, New Delhi and two others. ………Respondents HONOURABLE THE ACTING CHIELF JUSTICE SRI B.PRAKASH RAO & HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE V.SURI APPA RAO W.A. No.884 of 2010 JUDGMENT (Per HACJ): Heard both sides and at their request, the writ appeal is taken up for hearing and disposal. 2. The appellant is the unsuccessful petitioner in W.P.M.P.No.10204 of 2010 in W.P.No.7939 of 2010 who filed the said application seeking interim direction to the 2nd respondent-Committee not to operate the final report submitted by it in respect of service conditions and wage revision of the members of the petitioner-Union pending the writ petition. After having heard the counsel appearing for both the parties, the learned Single Judge dismissed the said application holding that unless the petitioner-Union succeeds in the main writ petition, no relief as sought for can be granted. However, directed the Registry to post the writ petition immediately after Dasara vacation 2010, high up in the list. 3. Having heard the learned counsel appearing on either side and also perused the material on record, we are of the view that since the learned Single Judge has directed the office to post the main writ petition itself for early disposal, the appellant cannot seek indulgence of this Court at this stage, inasmuch as the writ petition cannot be disposed of without being decided on merits. 4. In the circumstances, we do not find any merits in this appeal. The writ appeal is accordingly dismissed. However, office is directed to post the main writ petition itself for final hearing before the regular Court hearing the matters on 02-12-2010, subject to ‘part heard’. No costs. _______________________ B.PRAKASH RAO, HACJ Date: 19th November 2010 ____________________ V.SURI APPA RAO,J kvr
