1 S.B. Civil Writ Petition No.3797/2009 Sultan Singh vs State of Raj DATE OF ORDER : - 4.5.2009 HON'BLE MR. PRAKASH TATIA, J. Mr. RS Choudhary, for the petitioner. <><><> Heard learned counsel for the petitioner. The petitioner is aggrieved against the award dated 26.8.2008 by which the reference has been answered against the petitioner. The petitioner alleged that he worked with the respondent from 10th June, 1981 to 31st March, 1984. He raised the dispute after 20 years, i.e., in the year 2004 and yet the dispute was referred to the labour court by the order of the State Government dated 16th July, 2005. The labour court in impugned award clearly held that there is no reason to entertain the said claim which has been preferred after 20 years. I do not find any illegality in the award passed by the labour court rejecting the petitioner's claim and particularly the award dated 26th August, 2008 has been challenged in the month of April, 2009 by preferring the writ petition. In view of the above reasons, I do not find any merit 2 in this writ petition and the same is hereby dismissed. (PRAKASH TATIA), J. c.p.goyal/-
