Nazir Khan, Hyderabad. v. The Appellant Authority Under A.P.Shops And Establishment Act,

HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE ABHINAND KUMAR SHAVILI WRIT PETITION No. 20732 of 2002 ORDER:

This writ petition is filed seeking to issue a writ of certiorari calling for the records relating to and connected with S.A.No.31 of 2001 and quash the orders dated 13.06.2002 passed therein holding it as illegal and arbitrary.

Heard Sri N. Venkateswarlu, learned counsel for the petitioner, and learned Government Pleader for Labour appearing on behalf of the official respondents.

It has been contended by the petitioner that the 3rd respondent workman was never engaged by him and even if he was engaged, it was on intermittently but not on regular basis, but the 3rd respondent filed a false case against him before the 2nd respondent under the A.P. Shops and establishments Act, 1988 contending that he was terminated without any notice and paying wages. The 2nd respondent vide orders dated 11.09.2001 directed him to pay a sum of Rs.18,945/- to the 3rd respondent. Challenging the same, he preferred an appeal before the 1st respondent in S.A.No.31 of 2001. The 1st respondent without appreciating any of the contentions raised by him dismissed the appeal vide orders dated 13.06.2002. Questioning the same, the present writ petition is filed.

Learned counsel for the petitioner has submitted that the action of the 1st and 2nd respondents in passing the orders in favour of the 3rd respondent without appreciating any of the contentions raised by the

petitioner is illegal and contrary to law and therefore the impugned orders are liable to be dismissed.

This Court, having considered the submissions made by the learned counsel on either side, is of the considered view that there is no error apparent on the face of the record and further no illegality or irregularity has been pointed out by the petitioner in the orders passed by the respondents 1 and 2. In the absence of the same, this Court cannot interfere with the orders passed by the respondents 1 and 2. There are no merits in the writ petition and the same is liable to be dismissed.

Accordingly, the writ petition is dismissed. Consequently, miscellaneous petitions, if any, pending in the writ petition shall stand closed. No order as to costs.
