IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB & HARYANA, CHANDIGARH CWP No. 11387 of 2009 Date of decision July 31, 2009 Sarwan Dass ....... Petitioner Versus Presiding Officer, Labour Court-I, ........ Respondents CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE K. KANNAN Present:- Mr. Shiv Kumar, Advocate for the petitioner. **** 1. Whether reporters of local newspapers 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? K. Kannan, J(oral). The writ petition challenges the award of the Labour Court rejecting the claim for reinstatement. Labour Court dealt with the issue by adverting to the fact that the 'workman' had merely responded response to a tender floated by the respondent where he had offered himself for working for a particular period at a particular rate. The Labour Court found that there was no employee-employer relationship between the parties and on completion of the period mentioned in the offer of the workman, his services stood terminated. The workman cannot claim himself to have the status as such and the rejection of reference by the Labour Court was under the circumstances perfectly justified. Writ petition is dismissed. No costs. .
