Writ Petition No.5165 of 2011 19.12.2011 Ms.Rachana Dubey, counsel for petitioner. Heard on the question of admission. This petition under Article 227 of the Constitution of India is directed against the award dated 23.2.2011, passed by Labour Court Mandsaur, on a reference made to it under Section 10(1) of Industrial Disputes Act, 1947. On consideration of the material placed before the Labour Court, it found that the petitioner was engaged as a driver on payment of daily-wages and as such worked from the year 2003 to November, 2007 with the respondent. It was also found that without making the payment of retrenchment compensation, his services were wrongly dispensed with, therefore, the Labour Court ordered reinstatement. However, the back- wages have been denied. The primary consideration which prevailed upon the Labour Court to deny the back-wages was that the petitioner was working with the respondent on payment of daily-wages. Thus, it is clear that he had not worked from 2007. As long as he worked, he received his wages. There is no dispute about this. In view of the aforesaid, we do not find any infirmity with the award impugned denying the back-wages to the petitioner. There is no merit and substance in the petition. It stands dismissed. (S.K.
