IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA LPA No.128 of 2008 RAM NARESH BHAKTA Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS ----------- For the appellant : Mr.Jitendra Kumar Roy, Advocate For the respondents : Mr. Anjani Kumar Sharan, SC 20 -------- P R E S E N T Hon'ble the Chief Justice & Hon'ble Mr. Justice Kishore K. Mandal ---- Dated, the 1st July, 2008. The counsel for the appellant submits that the award suffers from non-compliance of Section 10 (4) of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947. 2. We are afraid, the contention is frivolous and devoid of any substance. Breft of unnecessary details, the fact of the matter is that the workman miserably failed to establish before the Labour Court that he had worked continuously 240 days with the employer. In the absence thereof, the burden which lay on the workman, the award of the Labour Court cannot be faulted. Dismissal of the writ petition by the Single Judge does not suffer from any legal infirmity. LPA is dismissed in limine. R.M. Lodha, CJ Kishore K. Mandal, J. Sunil
