2. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and Sri Aravala Rama Rao, learned Standing Counsel for APSRTC appearing for respondents.
3. The respondents have filed a counter-affidavit stating that, challenging the award passed by the Industrial Tribunal in I.D.No.85 of 2012, the respondent - Corporation filed W.P.No.21739 of 2015, wherein the then Standing Counsel has brought to the notice of this Court that the workman was already retired from service on attaining the age of superannuation. However, the said statement was factually incorrect, as the workman, as on today, is working as Junior Assistant in District Public Transport Office, Nandyal, as such, the Corporation did not implement the orders of this Court.

4. On perusal of the orders of this Court in W.P.No. 21739 of 2015, it is seen that, this Court while dismissing the writ petition, had observed that as the punishment imposed against the workman was rightly revoked by the Labour Court, there are no grounds to interfere with the said Award passed by the Industrial Tribunal which has been charged under section 11 of the Industrial Disputes Act.
5. Thereafter, the Corporation has neither taken steps to seek revival of the said writ petition nor filed any application seeking review the order passed therein. As such, the Award passed by the Industrial Tribunal has attained finality. In such circumstances, the respondent-Corporation is bound to implement the said Award passed by the Industrial Tribunal.
6. In view of the foregoing reasons, the writ petition is allowed. The respondent – Corporation is directed to implement the Award dated 21.04.2014 passed in I.D.No.85 of 2012 by the learned Chairperson – cum – Presiding Officer, Industrial Tribunal – cum – Labour Court, Anantapuramu.
As a sequel, miscellaneous applications, pending, if any, shall stand closed. __________________________
