The award of the Labour Court was modified by this Court. But that does not take away the jurisdiction of the Labour Court to entertain a petition under Section 33(C) (2) of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947. Having regard to the peculiar facts and circumstances of the case, this writ petition is disposed of without prejudice to such right of the petitioner to have recourse to such remedy. If the petitioner makes a proper request before the Labour Court for an expeditious disposal, having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case that the petitioner is not in service from 1994, the Labour Court will consider that request sympathetically. THOTTATHIL B.RADHAKRISHNAN, Judge ps
