IN THE HIGH COURT FOR THE STATES OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. F.A.O. No. 1189 of 1989 . Date of Decision: 6.1.2011. Employees State Insurance Corporation through its Regional Director vs. The Rohtak District Transport Co-operative Society Ltd., `Group `B', Amritsar and another. Present: None for the parties. -.- Mohinder Pal, J. Employees State Insurance Corporation has preferred this appeal challenging the order dated 9.9.1989 passed by the learned Judge, Employees' State Insurance Court, Amritsar, claiming relief to the effect that the Rohtak District Transport Co-operative Society Ltd., `Group `B', Amritsar - respondent No.1 (hereinafter referred to as `the Transport Company') is liable to pay contributions on the amount of Rs.57882.91 amounting to Rs.4053.80 on account of the payments of incentive allowance to the Drivers and Conductors of the Transport Company and that the order / judgment of the trial Court on this point is not sustainable. None appeared for the parties when the matter was taken up for hearing. I have perused the impugned order passed by the learned trial Judge and the records of the case. The learned trial Judge, after framing issues, recording evidence, both oral and documentary, led by the parties, passed the impugned order. The amount in question had been paid by the -2- F.A.O. No. 1189 of 1989 . Transport Company to its Drivers and Conductors as travelling allowance and, as such, it did not constitute wages. No fault, therefore, can be found with the impugned order passed by the learned trial Judge. This appeal is, accordingly, hereby dismissed. January 06, 2011 ( MOHINDER PAL ) ak JUDGE
