THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V. NAGARJUNA REDDY W.P. No. 26475 of 1995 Dated: 24.10.2006 Between: The Secretary, A.P. State Electricity Board, Vidyut Soudha, Hyderabad & others. … Petitioners AND Md. Latheef & others. … Respondents THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V. NAGARJUNA REDDY W.P. No. 26475 of 1995 ORDER:- This writ petition is filed on behalf of A.P. State Electricity Board (for short “the Board”) by various officers of the said Board against the order of the 16th respondent made in file No.IA/1500/93, dated 25.10.1994 wherein the application of respondents 1 to 15 for condonation of delay in approaching the 16th respondent for fixation of minimum wages was allowed. It is not in dispute that under the A.P. Electricity Reform Act, 1999, the Board was reorganized by being divided into different companies, but none of those companies, which succeeded to the interest of the Board, has come on record in place of non-existent Board. On this ground, the writ petition is liable to be dismissed. Yet another reason for dismissing the writ petition is that by an order dated 07.02.2003, this Court has dismissed the writ petition against respondents 1, 3, 5, 6, 7, 9, 10, 12, 13 and 14. The cause in my opinion is indivisible and the writ having been dismissed against the majority of the respondents, it is not proper to allow the petitioners to pursue the writ petition only in respect of a few respondents, who have common case along with other respondents against whom the writ petition is dismissed. For these reasons the writ petition is liable to be dismissed and accordingly, the same is dismissed, but no costs. _____________________________ C.V. NAGARJUNA REDDY, J Date: 24.10.2006 ES
