IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Civil Writ Petition No.13550 of 2010 Amrik Singh Vs. Industrial Tribunal and Labour Court U.T., Sector-18, Chandigarh & others Present: Mr.T.P.Singh, Advocate, for the petitioner. ***** RANJIT SINGH, J. The petitioner was conductor on a bus. On checking, he was found to have embezzled some amount. On that basis, he was proceeded against. Domestic enquiry was held and the petitioner was awarded punishment by bringing him down by 13 stages in his pay and allowances. He filed an appeal against the same and the Appellate Authority considered the punishment to be excessive and reduced it to stoppage of two increments. The petitioner raised an industrial dispute against the same, which was referred to the Labour Court. The Labour Court has dismissed the reference and upheld the punishment awarded. Counsel for the petitioner submits that the evidence produced by the petitioner was not rightly appreciated and that no passenger was either examined or named. This aspect was considered by the Labour Court by referring to the law laid down by the Hon'ble Supreme Court in the case of State of Haryana Vs. Ratan Singh, AIR 1977 Supreme Court 1512 to hold that there was some evidence on record given by the Inspector and, thus, non- examination of the passenger would not mean that there was no evidence at all. The appreciation or re-appreciation of evidence would not be within the purview of the writ court nor the same was within the purview of the Labour Court. No case for interference, thus, is made out. The writ petition is dismissed. August 03, 2010 ( RANJIT SINGH ) ramesh JUDGE
