THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.RAMULU W.P.No.15472 of 1995 ORDER: This writ petition is filed questioning the award passed by the first respondent-Labour Court in I.D.No.179 of 1990 dated 7.2.1995. It appears, petitioner joined as contingent workman in Tadepalli Electricity Revenue Office (E.R.O.) in the year 1979 and later he was appointed as Bill Collector/Revenue Cashier in 1980 and posted to Ganapavaram E.R.O. office. While so, he was kept under suspension with effect from 8.2.1983 on the ground of misappropriation, cheating and tampering of official records. On the basis of preliminary enquiry, petitioner was issued with charge sheet dated 5.6.1986. Thereafter, a detailed enquiry was conducted and the petitioner was issued with a show cause notice and ultimately, he was dismissed from service by the orders of second respondent dated 6.3.1990. Aggrieved by the same, petitioner raised a dispute under Section 2A(2) of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947 before the Labour Court, Guntur in I.D.No.179 of 1990. It is the case of the petitioner that the enquiry was not properly conducted and he never committed any misappropriation or altered the records of the second respondent. After going through the documentary evidence placed before it, the first respondent-Labour Court held that the enquiry was properly conducted and the charges made against the petitioner were proved in full and the punishment imposed is proportionate to the gravity of misconduct and therefore, dismissed the clam petition. Aggrieved by the same, the present writ petition is filed. I have gone through the award under challenge and other material made available on record. I am of the view that the Labour Court has considered each and every aspect of the charge made against the petitioner in detail and held that the petitioner has tampered the records. Therefore, I see no reason to interfere with such grave charges made against the petitioner, which were proved in full. The writ petition is devoid of any merit and liable to be dismissed. Accordingly, the writ petition is dismissed. No order as to costs. _____________ C.V.RAMULU, J Date: 26.9.2006 DA THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.RAMULU W.P.No.15472 of 1995 26.9.2006 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE OF ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.RAMULU W.P.No.15472 of 1995 Date: 26th September, 2006 Between: M.Suryanarayana ..
