THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE C.V. RAMULU WRIT PETITION No.2281 OF 2008 DATED: 07.02.2008 Between: M.P. Barnabas .. Petitioner And APSRTC rep. by its Vice- Chairman & Managing Director, Musheerabad, Hyderabad and others. .. Respondents THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE C.V. RAMULU WRIT PETITION No.2281 OF 2008 ORDER: It appears, earlier, when the petitioner was removed from service of the respondent Corporation, he raised a dispute in I.D.No.33 of 1989 before the Industrial Tribunal-cum-Labour Court, Anantapur. The Labour Court, after detailed consideration of the matter, passed an award on 22.09.1990 directing the Corporation to reinstate the petitioner into service with continuity of service, but without any backwages. However, it was ordered that the petitioner is not entitled for one increment with cumulative effect in his service and further directed the management to reduce his rank by two places in the seniority list. Pursuant to the said award, the petitioner was reinstated into service and is continuing as of now. While so, the grievance of the petitioner is that, on his reinstatement into service, the last pay drawn by him at the time of removal from service was not protected, in spite of making several representations. One such representation was made on 04.06.2007. In the facts and circumstances of the case, without expressing any opinion on merits, the respondents are directed to consider the representation, dated 04.06.2007, purported to have been filed by the petitioner, seeking protection of his last drawn pay, and pass appropriate orders, within a period of six weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order, and communicate the same to the petitioner. With the above direction, the writ petition is disposed of. No order as to costs. _________________ JUSTICE C.V. RAMULU 7th February, 2008. IBL
