JUSTICE RITU BAHRI Present:- Mr. A.K. Rathee, Advocate for the petitioner. RITU BAHRI J.(Oral) The petitioner has challenged the Award dated 1.4.2011 (Annexure P-5) on the ground that the Department had not produced the entire muster roll record, therefore, an adverse inference should be drawn against the Management and the termination order of the petitioner dated 1.1.2003 is in violation of Section 25-F and 25-G of the Industrial Disputes Act and he is entitled to be reinstated. Mr. A.K. Rathee, Advocate for the workman has argued that the petitioner was appointed on daily wages on 01.1.1987 and worked till 31.12.2002. His juniors Mahender, Sube and Sajjan have been retained and they are still working. The workman had summoned the record and Shri Hasr Singh, Forest Officer of D.F.O (T), Bhiwani produced the record of Loharu Range for the period from 1.5.1990 to 31.12.2002. In this record of muster roll petitioner had not worked for 240 days in any year. Despite several opportunities the workman could not lead any evidence to prove his case that he had worked from the year 1990 to 2002. Since most of the record w.e.f. Civil Writ Petition No. 15509 of 2011 -2- 1.5.1990 to 31.12.2002 had been produced by Hasr Singh, did not contain the name of the petitioner. There is no infirmity in the Award passed by the Labour Court. The writ petition is dismissed. August 24, 2011 ( RITU BAHRI ) Vijay Asija JUDGE
