THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.RAMULU W.P.No.22231 of 1998 ORAL ORDER: This writ petition is filed seeking a Mandamus declaring (a) clauses 6(c) and 9 of Circular No.PD-113/1990 dated 6.10.1990 (b) impugned proceedings No.P2/544(3)/97-PO(IV) dated 18.12.1997 issued by second respondent as arbitrary, illegal and contrary to the Award passed in I.D.No.89 of 1994 dated 10.1.1997 on the file of the Industrial Tribunal- I, Hyderabad. There is no necessity of going into all the details. It is suffice to notice that earlier Union has raised a dispute and the same was referred to the Industrial Tribunal-I at Hyderabad which was numbered as I.D.No.89 of 1994. The claims of members of the Union was considered by the Labour Court and passed award dated 10.1.1997 directing the respondents to nominate a Single Officer to look into the grievances of Drivers with regard to fixation of pay on par with their juniors ignoring the fact that they did not file applications within time. Though a single officer was appointed to look into the claims of members of the petitioner Union, after elaborate consideration of the matter, the single officer under the impugned proceedings rejected the case of the petitioner Union only on the ground of delay. I am of the opinion that the approach made by the single officer vide impugned proceedings dated 18.12.1997 is not in consonance with the directions issued by the Labour Court-I, Hyderabad in I.D.No.89 of 1994 dated 10.1.1997. Therefore, the impugned proceedings are liable to be set aside on this ground alone. In the result, the writ petition is allowed the impugned proceedings dated 18.12.1997 are set aside. However, it is left to the respondent- management to reconsider the whole issue and pass appropriate orders as per law, within a period of three months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order by appointing a single officer as was directed by the Labour Court. No order as to costs. _____________ C.V.RAMULU, J Date: 1.2.2008 DA THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.RAMULU W.P.No.22231 of 1998 1.2.2008 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE OF ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.
