JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.12638 of 1999 Between: APSRTC, rep., by its Managing Director, Musheerabad, Hyderabad & another. … Petitioners AND M.A.Aleem & another. … Respondents Counsel for the petitioners : Sri V. Padmanabha Rao This Court made the following: THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.12638 of 1999 ORDER:- This writ petition is filed for a Writ of Certiorari to quash award dated 17.02.1997 in I.D.No.231 of 1993 of Labour Court-II, Hyderabad. Heard Sri V. Padmanabha Rao, learned counsel for the petitioners and perused the record. By the impugned award, respondent No.1, who was removed from service as Conductor, has been directed to be given fresh appointment by the Labour Court, while confirming the finding of his guilt. A perusal of the record shows that in the year 1993 respondent No.1 was shown to be aged 45 years. The age of superannuation being 58 years, respondent No.1 would have retired by now. As no benefits, other than fresh appointment, have been ordered by the Labour Court, no purpose will be served by adjudicating the writ petition on merits in view of the retirement of respondent No.1. For the abovementioned reasons, the writ petition is dismissed as infructuous. ____________________________ C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY, J Date: 25.11.2008 ES
