Counsel for the respective parties urged several contentions. The arguments were heard, and the papers were perused with care. 4. Suffice it to note that the petitioner raised a dispute before the Labor Court, Bengaluru, in I.D.No.130/2001. The Labor Court, vide award dated 09.11.2004, allowed the petition, directed the reinstatement of the workman to their original post with continuity of service only, and declined any entitlement to other consequential benefits. It is noted that the Corporation preferred a writ petition in No.11521/2005. This Court, vide order dated 06.03.2009, dismissed the writ petition. It is pertinent to note that, as regards the decline of the relief of other consequential benefits, the workman did not file any writ petition. Accordingly, the Tribunal's award has attained finality. The Corporation has issued an endorsement fixing his pay scale as per the Labor Court award. Hence, the petitioner cannot have grievance against the endorsement. Since the - 4 - HC-KAR CNR: KAHC010089102022 NC: 2026:KHC:44583 WP No. 4438 of 2022 Corporation has fixed his pay scale as per the Tribunal's award, I find no grounds to quash the endorsement. 5. Accordingly, the writ petition is dismissed. Because of the dismissal of the Writ Petition, any interim order stands discharged, and pending interlocutory applications, if any, are disposed of.
