ORAL JUDGEMENT

Mr H K Rathod, learned counsel for the respondent

- workman states that the respondent expired about two years back.

This petition under Article 227 of the

Constitution is filed by the Gujarat State Road Transport Corporation for challenging the judgment and award dated November 16, 1984 passed by the Labour Court, Ahmedabad setting aside the order of dismissal of the respondent workman and directing the petitioner - Corporation to reinstate him in service but without payment of backwages. Mr Rathod states that the respondent workman was reinstated in service in compliance with the award under challenge, as the same was not stayed.

Since the award was already complied with earlier and the respondent - workman has died, this petition no longer survives. The petition has already abated.

Rule is discharged.
