Mr.G.R. Bahri for Mr.Sanjay Mathur, for the respondent. 1. This writ petition is directed against the award of Industrial Tribunal dated 13/2/1995, whereby, the learned Tribunal has directed Director, Mines and Geology Department, Government of Rajasthan, Jaipur to provide Uniform and other equipments like shoes, gumboots, torch etc. to semi permanent and work charge employees in the Mining Department also similar to regular employees. 2. The Industrial Tribunal considering the facts and evidence came before it directed that under order of the State Government of GAD Group III letter No.83 dt: 15/10/1988 which was issued with the concurrence of the Finance Department vide Group III I.O. No.1679 dt:27/9/88, the Mining Department was bound to provide these facilities to the work charge and semi permanent employees of the Mining Department also. 3. The petitioner-Director, Mines and Geology Department relying upon the letter dated 3/1/1987 Annex.8 issued by the Deputy 2/2 Secretary addressed to the Mining Department has stated that Uniform cannot be given to the work charge employees. 4. Learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that the Industrial Tribunal was not justified in directing for providing Uniform to the work charge and semi permanent employees of the Mining Department. 5. Having heard learned counsels and upon perusal of the award of the Industrial Tribunal, this Court finds no ground to interfere with the said award dated 13/2/1995. No reasonable basis is found to differentiate between semi permanent and work charge employees on the one hand and permanent or regular employees on the other hand. The provision for uniform and other safety equipments as directed by the Industrial Tribunal appears to be justified and in accordance with the Government Order dated 15/10/1988 referred to in the Award of learned Tribunal. This Court, therefore, finds no reason to interfere with the impugned award in the writ petition. The writ petition is found to be devoid of merit and same is accordingly dismissed.
