The Executive Engineer, Marketing Department, v. K.Srinivas,

THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE V. RAMASUBRAMANIAN and THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE G. SHYAM PRASAD WRIT APPEAL No.1236 of 2016 JUDGMENT: (per VRS, J) This Writ Appeal arises out of a common order passed in two Writ Petitions, namely, W.P.Nos.23452 and 24645 of 2000, by a learned Single Judge on 30.07.2014. The State filed separate Writ Appeals.

The first Writ Appeal got numbered earlier in W.A.No.1012 of 2016. The same was dismissed by a Bench of this Court by order, dated 13.10.2016. The operative portion of the order of the Division Bench reads as follows: "The only point argued by the learned Assistant Government Pleader is that the learned single Judge has committed an error in awarding back wages to respondent No.1. He has, however, fairly conceded that Writ Petition No.23452 of 2000 was filed by the appellants questioning the award of the Labour Court to the extent of directing reinstatement of respondent No.1 as a fresh workman and therefore, it did not involve the question of back wages. In the light of this fact and the further fact that the merits relating to Writ Petition No.23452 of 2000, which were confined only to reinstatement of the workman, have not been argued, we have no reason to interfere with the order of the learned single Judge. The Writ Appeal is, accordingly, dismissed.

As a sequel to dismissal of the Writ Appeal, WAMP.No.2256 of 2016 filed by the appellants for interim relief is dismissed as infructuous."

Therefore, following the same, this Writ Appeal is also dismissed.

Pending miscellaneous petitions, if any, shall also stand closed. No order as to costs.
