IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE, ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD (Special Original Jurisdiction) THURSDAY, THE TWENTY THIRD DAY OF SEPTEMBER TWO THOUSAND AND TEN PRESENT THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE V.ESWARAIAH WRIT PETITION No.189 of 2002 Between: V.Raji Reddy ..... PETITIONER AND Drugallu District Cooperative Marketing Society Ltd., Warangal, Rep.by its President and 2 others .....RESPONDENTS The Court made the following: THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE V.ESWARAIAH WRIT PETITION No.189 of 2002 O R D E R: It is the case of the petitioner that he was appointed as salesman in the 1st respondent society in the year 1977. While so, he was suspended by order dated 02.06.1990 on certain irregularities and misutilisation of various agricultural inputs and an Enquiry Officer was appointed and charge sheet dated 18.12.1990 was served against him. The petitioner submitted his explanation. The Enquiry Officer considered his explanation and submitted his enquiry report and based on the enquiry report, the services of the petitioner were terminated by order dated 27.05.1992. Aggrieved by the said termination order dated 27.05.1992 the petitioner raised an industrial dispute before the Industrial Tribunal-cum-Labour Court, Warangal in I.D.No.178/1992 and the Industrial Tribunal passed “Nil Award” by order dated 04.07.1996. Thereafter, proceedings were initiated under Sec.60(1) of the A.P.Cooperative Societies Act, 1964 and a surcharge order dated 04.07.1998 in Rc.No.1142/96-B was passed holding that the petitioner is not liable to pay any amount to the 1st respondent. It is stated that the petitioner made an application dated 16.07.1998 seeking re-employment. Basing on the surcharge orders dated 04.07.1998, the 1st respondent considered the request of the petitioner and gave re-employment as salesman by order dated 16.07.1998 on humanitarian grounds because he was not paid any terminal benefits at the time of dismissal of his services. Accordingly, he was re-appointed as salesman with immediate effect and the period of absence from the date of dismissal to the date of re-appointment i.e. from 25.07.1992 to 16.07.1998 was treated as extraordinary leave without any pay and allowances except entitling him the seniority for the next promotional post of junior assistant. It is stated that the petitioner made a representation dated 08.01.1999 for payment of wages. If it is the case of re-appointment, I am not inclined to express any opinion as to whether the petitioner is entitled for payment of any wages or not. However, the representation of the petitioner said to have been made on 08.01.1999 was not considered and disposed of. In the absence of any counter filed by the respondents, I dispose of the writ petition permitting the petitioner to make a fresh representation ventilating his grievances, within a period of four weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order, and if any such representation is filed within the stipulated period, the 1st respondent shall consider and dispose of the same, in accordance with law. ________________ V.ESWARAIAH,J Dated: 23.09.2010 Dsr
