By the said order, the punishment of removal from service imposed by the petitioner on respondent No.2 was set aside by the Industrial Tribunal-cum-Labour Court, Visakhapatnam and respondent No.2 was directed to be reinstated into service. At the hearing, it has come to light from the record that the case was posted before the Deputy Registrar for payment of batta due to respondent No.2 on 03-12-2001 and 18-12-2001. As the order granting two weeks’ time for payment of batta was not complied with, the case was posted before this Court on 13-03-2003. By order dated 13-03- 2003, time was extended by four weeks for complying with the order for payment of batta with the condition that non-compliance will entail in automatic dismissal of the writ petition against respondent No.2. As the said order was not complied with, the writ petition stood dismissed and an endorsement to that effect was made by the Registry on 16-04- 2003. As no steps are taken by the petitioner for restoration of the writ petition against respondent No.2, the cause in the writ petition does not survive for consideration. The writ petition is, accordingly, dismissed as infructuous. C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY, J Dated 20th November, 2008 vrn
