SHRI.A.J.VARGHESE THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 11/09/2007, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: S.SIRI JAGAN, J. ========================== W.P.(C).No.26890 of 2007 ========================== Dated this the 11th day of September, 2007 J U D G M E N T The petitioner is the management in I.D.No.16/2000 before the Labour Court, Kannur. Ext.P1 is the award passed by the Labour Curt in that I.D. Ext.P1 is challenged only on the ground that findings therein are not supported by evidence. I have gone through Ext.P1 award. 2. The issue referred for adjudication in the industrial dispute was the following: “Whether the denial of employment to S/Sri.C.Lakshmanan, A.Anil, E.Shivan, K.N.Prabhakaran, N.Raju, K.Purushothaman and T.Sudhir, polishing workers of Crown Marketing Centre, Puthiyatheru, Kannur is justifiable?” 3. The management denied that the workmen concerned were employed by the management at all. The Labour Court on the basis of the evidence tendered by the witnesses produced by the workmen including an Assistant Labour Officer who inspected the premises of the management-establishment, came to the w.p.c.26890/07 2 conclusion that the evidence supported the contention of the workmen that they are employed by the management in question. I do not find anything perverse in such findings. Without finding any perversity in the findings of the Labour Court, I cannot interfere with Ext.P1. In the above circumstances, I do not find any merit in the writ petition and accordingly, the same is dismissed. Sd/- sdk+ S.SIRI JAGAN, JUDGE ///True copy/// P.A. to Judge.
