1 S.B.CIVIL WRIT PETITION NO. 4717/2006 Loona Ram Vs. State of Rajasthan & Ors. Date of Order :: 2.4.2008 HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE GOVIND MATHUR Mr. D.K. Parihar, for the petitioner. ... The appropriate government by the order dated 20.12.2000 while exercising powers under sub-section (5) of Section 12 refused to refer an industrial dispute on the count that the project approved by the Central Government was closed, and therefore, services of the workman rightly came to an end. Learned counsel for the petitioner urged that as a matter of fact the petitioner was working with Panchayat Samiti, Barmer and therefore the issue relating to completion of project and its effect upon the service of the workman is required to be examined by the adjudicating forum and not by the appropriate government, thus, the refusal to refer the dispute is bad. Having considered the argument advanced I am of the considered opinion that as a matter of fact the issue as to whether the project was completed or not and what shall be its effect on service of the petitioner is required to be examined by the adjudicating forum. The appropriate government, therefore, was not right to decide the issue in administrative powers and refusing the industrial dispute to be referred 2 for adjudication. Accordingly, this petition for writ is allowed. The order dated 20.12.2000 is quashed. The appropriate government is directed to reconsider the failure report and other record relating to industrial dispute afresh within a period of three days from today and to pass an appropriate order as per the provisions of Section 12(5) of the Act of 1947.
