1 S.B. CIVIL WRIT PETITION NO. 104/2007. (BRIJKANT ACHARYA VS. RSRTC & OTHERS) DATE OF ORDER : 18.08.2008. HON'BLE MR. GOVIND MATHUR, J. Mr. Pramendra Bohra for the petitioner. Mr. P.K. Lohra for the respondents. By this petition for writ, a challenge is given to the award dated 01.07.2005 passed by Labour Court, Bhilwara while answering a reference made to it by the appropriate government under a notification dated 29.05.2000 in the terms that “whether termination of workman Shri Brijkant Sharma s/o Shri Bhanwar Lal Sharma by his employer Chief Manager, Rajasthan State Road Transport Corporation, Bhilwara Depot w.e.f. 19.08.1992 is just and valid? If not, then for what relief, the workman is entitled?” The labour court after considering the entire material available on record, reached at the conclusion that the workman was discontinued from service on expiry of the term of appointment, as such, the termination is not a retrenchment as defined under Section 2(oo) of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947. 2 I have also perused the order of appointment i.e. available on record and also the order of termination dated 19.08.1992. From the order of appointment, it is apparent that the appointment of the petitioner was for a term of six months and on expiry of that the petitioner was discontinued from service. It is true that the order of discontinuation from service, refers that the work of the petitioner was not satisfactory, however, merely on that count, the order of termination cannot be held stigmatic, as the services of the petitioner were terminated only on the count of term of appointment. For the reasons stated above, I do not find any reason to interfere with the impugned award while exercising powers under Article 226 and 227 of the Constitution of India. The petition for writ, therefore, is dismissed. (GOVIND MATHUR)J. Anil/
