IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Civil Writ Petition No.23157 of 2010 M/s Herman Leather Engg., Udyog Vihar,Dundahera, Gurgaon Vs. Presiding Officer, Industrial Tribunal-cum-Labour Court, Gurgaon & another Present: Ms.Nimrata Shergill, Advocate, for the petitioner. ***** RANJIT SINGH, J. The Labour Court had decided the reference in favour of the workman on 21.8.2002. The direction was to reinstate respondent No.2 with full back wages. That award is not put to any challenge. Counsel submits that the petitioner did not wish to challenge the award. Thereafter, the petitioner filed a petition under Section 33-C(2) of the Industrial Disputes Act for payment of wages, which was not paid to him. This petition was decided ex-parte on 29.7.2009. The application was moved for recall of that order on 8.12.2009. The court has declined to recall the order on the ground that the Court has become functus-officio after thirty days of the order. When there is no challenge made to the main award, where back wages were allowed to respondent No.2, the issue of any further hearing in regard to the amount, which would be payable, would be meaningless. The petitioner-firm knew very well what was the wages drawn and wages payable as per law. No case for interference, thus, is made out. The writ petition is dismissed.
