Writ Petition No.8431 of 2011 02.12.2011 Ms. Mini Ravindran, learned Deputy Govt. Advocate for the petitioners. Heard on the question of admission. By filing this petition under Article 227 of the Constitution of India the petitioners have challenged the award dated 06.10.2008 passed by Labour Court, Indore in Case No.09/2008 Reference I.D. by which the Labour Court has ordered reinstatement of the respondent without backwages. Briefly stated the respondent raised an industrial dispute about his illegal termination by the petitioners employer. According to the respondent, he was continuously working with the petitioners since 1982 till 01.07.2000 when his services were terminated by an oral order. On being referred the matter for adjudication by the Deputy Labour Commissioner, Indore, the Labour Court granted opportunities to the parties to complete their pleadings and lead evidence. The respondent workman examined himself and one witness Mohd. Khan. The respondent stated that he was employed continuously from the year 1982 till 01.07.2000 when his services were terminated by an oral order without assigning any reason. He further stated that he was not being given notice pay and no retrenchment compensation has been paid to him. He further stated that no permission was sought from the State Government prior to his retrenchment. His evidence was corroborated by his witness Mohd. Khan and also by documents. The aforesaid evidence led by the respondent was not controverted by the petitioners. In the absence of any rebuttal to the same by the petitioners, the Labour Court held the termination to be an illegal retrenchment and ordered for reinstatement of the respondent. However keeping in view the fact that the respondent was a daily wager the Labour Court did not grant him any backwages. Having gone through the impugned award passed by the Labour Court which is based upon sound appreciation of evidence, in our considered view, no case for interference in the matter in this petition under Article 227 of the Constitution of India is made out. Accordingly, the petition fails and is hereby dismissed. (Shantanu Kemkar) (Prakash Shrivastava) Judge Judge AM.
