Civil Revision No. 235 of 2009 (1) In the High Court of Punjab & Haryana at Chandigarh Civil Revision No. 235 of 2009 (O&M) Date of decision : 23.1.2009 M/s Arora Industries ..... Petitioner vs Presiding Officer, Industrial Tribunal-cum- Labour Court, Gurgaon and another ..... Respondents Coram: Hon'ble Mr. Justice Rajesh Bindal Present: Mr. R. N. Singal,Advocate, for the petitioner. Rajesh Bindal J. Prayer in the present petition filed under Article 227 of the Constitution of India is for setting aside order dated 2.9.2008 and order dated 2.12.2008 passed by the Industrial Tribunal-cum-Labour Court, Gurgaon (for short, “the Tribunal”), whereby evidence of the petitioner- management was closed by order of the Tribunal. For the view I am taking in the present petition, I do not deem it appropriate to issue notice to the respondents, as the same would unnecessarily delay not only the disposal of the present petition but also the claim petition as well. The proceedings in the present case arise out of a petition filed by respondent no. 2/ against the petitioner regarding industrial dispute. Learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that though the petition was filed by respondent no. 2-workman in the year 2003 but he closed his evidence on 11.12.2007. It was for the first time that the case was fixed for evidence of the petitioner-management on 25.3.2008 and on the very next date i.e. on 2.9.2008, the Tribunal, closed the evidence of the petitioner-management by order. Thereafter, the petitioner filed application for review of order dated 2.9.2008 but the same was also dismissed vide order dated 2.12.2008. It was further submitted that in fact, the workman wanted to delay the proceedings for extraneous reasons, otherwise the management was still ready and willing to take him back in service, as he himself had abandoned the service. He further submitted that in case one opportunity is granted, the management will complete its entire evidence on Civil Revision No. 235 of 2009 (2) the date fixed. The only help required from the Tribunal is regarding summoning of an official witness. The facts submitted by the learned counsel for the petitioner are borne out from the record. The case is fixed for hearing before the court below on 27.1.2009. Accordingly, while setting aside the impugned order dated 2.9.2008, closing the evidence of the management and also the subsequent order dated 2.12.2008, the learned Tribunal court is directed to grant one opportunity to the petitioner-management for completing his evidence on the date to be fixed by the Tribunal after 27.1.2009. The same shall be subject to payment of Rs. 2,000/- as costs to respondent no. 2. The petitioner shall be at liberty to get summons issued for any official witness. It is, however, made clear that no further opportunity shall be granted to the petitioner in case he fails to complete his entire evidence on the date fixed. The revision petition is disposed of in the manner indicated above. 21.1.2009 ( Rajesh Bindal) vs. Judge
