Whether Reporters of Local papers may be allowed to see the judgment? 2. To be referred to the Reporters or not? 3. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest? --- Surya Kant, J. (Oral) The petitioner-workman is aggrieved by the order dated 5.10.2011 passed by the Presiding Officer, Labour Court, Ludhiana, whereby the issues were framed in the Reference and after recording the statement of the workman to the effect that he does not want to lead any evidence, the case was adjourned for Management's evidence. No fault can be found with the said order as it is the duty of the Tribunal to give reasonable opportunities to both the parties to lead their respective evidence. The Labour Court, however, shall ensure that no repeated adjournments are granted at the asking of the Management and the case is expeditiously disposed of. With the aforementioned observations and directions, the writ petition is disposed of. Dasti. October 19, 2011 (SURYA KANT) Mohinder JUDGE
