Civil Writ Petition No. 14141 of 2010 -1- IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Civil Writ Petition No. 14141 of 2010 Date of decision:-26.8.2011 Satish Kumar ...Petitioner Versus The Presiding Officer, Labour Court, Panipat and another ...Respondents CORAM: HON'BLE MS. JUSTICE RITU BAHRI Present:- Mr. Raj Kaushik, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. D.S. Nalwa, Addl.A.G. Haryana. RITU BAHRI J.(Oral) Challenge in this writ petition is to the order dated 13.5.2008 (Annexure P-5). An application has been moved by the workman seeking amendment in the demand notice regarding date of termination of his services. In the demand notice the date of termination of services of the petitioner has been mentioned as 1.10.2002 whereas the actual date of termination of his services was 1.1.2000. This mistake had occurred inadvertently on the part of the typist. In an identical situation matter this Court has decided the similar issue in CWP No.14160 of 2010 titled 'Krishan versus The Presiding Officer, Labour Court, Panipat and another' decided on 08.7.2011, considering the applicability of provisions of Section 10(4) of the Industrial Disputes Act, which are reproduced hereunder :- “(4) Wherein an order referring an industrial dispute to [a Labour Court, Tribunal or National Tribunal] under this Civil Writ Petition No. 14141 of 2010 -2- Section or in a subsequent order, the appropriate Government has specified the points of dispute for adjudication, [the Labour Court or the Tribunal or the National Tribunal, as the case may be], shall confine its adjudication to those points and matters incidental thereto.” Once the matter has been referred to the Labour Court, it is to confine its adjudication to the points which have been referred. As per Section 10(1) it is the Government who forms an opinion on the claim made by the workman and after it is satisfied the matter is referred to the Labour Court. The order dated 13.5.2008 (Annexure P-5) does not suffer from any illegality. The writ petition is dismissed. August 26, 2011 ( RITU BAHRI ) Vijay Asija JUDGE
