CORAM : B.P. DHARMADHIKARI, J. OCTOBER 08, 2008. Shri Kothari, learned Assistant Government Pleader for the petitioner and Shri Kalbande, learned counsel for the respondent jointly state that the matter is similar to one in Writ Petition No. 2240 of 2008 decided right now by me. I have heard respective counsel. I find that the respondent worked from 1.1.1979 to 12.6.1984 and his daily wages has not been mentioned anywhere either in the statement of claims or then in written statement or even in the impugned award. However, considering the fact that he has worked for five years, I award him compensation of Rs.25,000/- plus retrenchment compensation and notice pay, if the same is already not paid by the department to the respondent. The reasons recorded in Writ Petition No. 2240 of 2008 shall apply even to this order. The amount awarded as compensation be 2 deposited by the petitioner by 31st March 2009 before the Labour Court at Wardha. If the amount is not deposited by 31st March 2009, the petitioner shall pay interest @ 7% per annum from today till its actual realization by the respondent. Writ Petition is partly allowed. No order as to costs. JUDGE *GS.
