No. 612, Sector-41-A, Chandigarh, (presently r/o H. No. 21, Amrit Vihar, Baltana, District Mohali, Punjab). ...... Petitioner. Versus. Presiding Officer, Labour Court, Ambala, and another ..... Respondents. CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE AUGUSTINE GEORGE MASIH. Present:- Mr. J.B. Sharma, Advocate, for the petitioner. Mr. Baldev Singh, Advocate, for respondent No. 2. AUGUSTINE GEORGE MASIH, J. (ORAL). Counsel for the petitioner does not press the present petition on merits, but states that he would only pray for modification of the Award, where special cost of Rs. 3,000/- has been imposed upon the petitioner/Workman by the Labour Court, Ambala, vide its Award dated 30.01.2008 (Annexure-P-8), the said special cost be not imposed upon him. Counsel for respondent No. 2 vehemently opposes the prayer made by counsel for the petitioner. Keeping in view the totality of the facts and circumstances of the present case and also in the light of the pleadings and evidence led by the parties, the observation of the Labour Court imposing special cost of Rs. 3,000/-, is uncalled for. The Award is modified to the extent that the claim of the petitioner/Workman fails and the same is hereby dismissed. There shall be no cost as imposed by the Labour Court, vide its Award dated 30.01.2008. The petition is accordingly disposed of. (AUGUSTINE GEORGE MASIH) JUDGE March 10, 2010. sjks.
