In the present intra-Court appeal, order impugned is dated 9.3.2009 passed by learned Single Judge whereby dismissing the writ petition filed by the petitioner-appellant, challenging the award dated 4.8.2004, answering reference against the workman. Undisputedly, petitioner was appointed as part-time Sweeper on fixed term basis. His services were discontinued on the upgradation of the school and a regular post has been sanctioned for the said school, wherein regular Sweeper was transferred and posted. Learned Single Judge in his order has rightly observed that LPA No. 1358 of 2009 2 there is delay of four years in putting forth his demand for which no explanation has come which would justify the delay in making the demand. Learned Labour Court has also observed that the petitioner was relieved of his duty when a regular Sweeper came to be posted in the school in question after her transfer from somewhere else. The petitioner was working on part-time basis and was a daily rated employee. Therefore, there is no violation of Section 25-F of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947. Neither the Labour Court nor learned Single Judge has committed any illegality or wrong while answering the reference against the workman and while dismissing the writ petition filed by the petitioner – workman. Appeal is devoid of merit and hence, is dismissed. ( Alok Singh ) Judge ( Adarsh Kumar Goel ) Judge 22.03.2010 sk.
