IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH COCP No. 2277 of 2010 (O&M) Date of decision:- 9.12.2010 Balbir Singh ......petitioner vs. Sh. Vicky Sahni ......respondent CORAM:- HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE HEMANT GUPTA Present: - Mr. H.S. Bedi, Advocate for the petitioner HEMANT GUPTA, J (ORAL) CM No. 31490-CII of 2010 Exemption is allowed as prayed for. COCP No. 2277 of 2010 The grievance of the petitioner is that the petitioner has not been paid wages in terms of Section 17-B of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947, the order passed by this Court while admitting the writ petition. A perusal of the order passed by this Court on 18.11.2008 shows that the implementation of the impugned Award passed by the Labour Court was stayed subject to compliance of the provisions of Section 17-B of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947. In view of the said fact, non payment of wages in terms of Section 17-B of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947 will give right to the workman to seek execution of the Award. In view of the fact, I do not find any case is made out for initiation of the contempt proceedings. Consequently, the present contempt petition is dismissed. (HEMANT GUPTA) JUDGE 9.12.2010 preeti
