THE HON’BLE Ms. JUSTICE G. ROHINI WRIT PETITION No.11714 OF 2008 Dated: 23.12.2009 Between: M. Yellappa and 19 others. … Petitioners And The Government of A.P., rep. by the Principal Secretary, Labour Dept., Secretariat, Hyderabad and 2 others. .. Respondents THE HON’BLE Ms. JUSTICE G. ROHINI WRIT PETITION No.11714 OF 2008 ORDER : The petitioners herein are the employees of the 2nd respondent society. This writ petition is filed aggrieved by the action of the respondents 2 and 3 in not paying the minimum wages as well as bonus to the petitioners as per G.O.Ms.No.107, dated 24.6.1991 and the other Orders issued by the 1st respondent. Despite notice, no counter-affidavit is filed on behalf of any of the respondents. The learned counsel for the petitioners submitted that during the pendency of this writ petition some of the petitioners herein moved an application before the Authority appointed under the Minimum Wages Act, 1948 - The Deputy Commissioner of Labour, Kurnool - claiming minimum wages and the same was taken on file as M.W.No.1 of 2009. It is also submitted that though initially the 2nd respondent by order dated 23.6.2009 while setting the society ex parte, directed the society to deposit the claim amount, subsequently at the instance of the society the said order was set aside and M.W.No.1 of 2009 itself was dismissed by order dated 23.6.2009 on the ground that the present writ petition is pending. Aggrieved by the same, the petitioners filed W.P.No.22691 of 2009. It is to be noticed that the said W.P.No.22691 of 2009 has also been heard today and by a separate order the order impugned therein has been set aside and the writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the 2nd respondent to pass appropriate orders afresh in M.W.No.1 of 2009. Having regard to the fact that the proceedings in M.W.No.1 of 2009 have been restored and the claim of the petitioners will now be considered by the competent authority under the Minimum Wages Act, 1948, no further enquiry is necessary in the writ petition. Accordingly, leaving it open to the petitioners to prosecute the proceedings in M.W.No.1 of 2009 pending on the file of the 2nd respondent, this Writ Petition is disposed of. No costs. ______________ G. ROHINI, J. Dt. 23.12.2009 Note:- CC in 3 days. (B/O) gbs
