IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Civil Writ Petition No.581 of 1991 Date of Decision: 02.12.2010 Ramesh Kumar ........Petitioner Versus The Presiding Officer, Industrial Tribunal-cum-Labour Court at Hisar and others .......Respondents CORAM:- HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RANJAN GOGOI Present: Mr. Ranjeet Saini, Advocate for the petitioner. ****** RANJAN GOGOI, J. (ORAL) This writ petition has been filed assailing an award dated 16.10.1990 (Annexure P-1), passed by the learned Presiding Officer, Industrial Tribunal-cum-Labour Court, Hisar in reference case No.312 of 1990. By the aforesaid award, learned Industrial Tribunal answered the question referred to it by holding that the petitioner- Workman had relinquished/abandoned his job and, therefore, was not entitled to any relief. A reading of the award dated 16.10.1990 could go to show that while the petitioner was in employment under the respondents, he had submitted an application dated 25.07.1985 (Exhibit M-1) seeking enlistment as a Contractor and for grant of work. It was allowed on the same day by the concerned Executive Engineer. Civil Writ Petition No.581 of 1991 -2- Thereafter, the petitioner executed several works allotted to him for which he received payments, as proved by Exhibits M-1 to M-6. The petitioner-workman had not placed before the learned Industrial Tribunal or even before this Court any order terminating his service. In the above circumstances, the only conclusion that should follow is that the service of the petitioner-workman was not terminated but he had voluntarily relinquished service under the respondents. Consequently, no infirmity can be found in the award, passed by the learned Industrial Tribunal. The writ petition, therefore, is without any merit. It is accordingly dismissed, however, without any order as to costs. December 02, 2010 (RANJAN GOGOI) Gagan JUDGE
