S.B.CIVIL WRIT PETITION NO.7780/2008 Prahalad Ram VS. Labour Court, Sriganganagar & Anr. Date of Order :: 14.10.2008 HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE GOVIND MATHUR Mr. M.S. Godara, for the petitioner. ... To challenge the award dated 5.3.2003 passed by the learned Industrial Tribunal cum Labour Court, Sriganganagar this petition for writ is preferred. It is contended by learned counsel for the petitioner that the labour court failed to appreciate that the petitioner was continuing in service of the employer upto 31.3.1994, and thereafter, his services were terminated. Be that as it may, the petitioner has given challenge to the award impugned after lapse of more than 5 years and 7 months. No adequate reason is given for causing such a delay. In the present matter, at this belated stage I do not consider it appropriate to exercise discretion of this Court. interfere under Article 226 and 227 of the Constitution of India. The writ petition, therefore, is dismissed. (GOVIND MATHUR), J. Jgoyal '
