1 D.B. CIVIL SPECIAL APPEAL NO.1080/2000 Suresh Chandra Paliwal Vs. State of Rajasthan & Ors. Date of Order : 18.8.2008. HON'BLE THE CHIEF JUSTICE MR. NARAYAN ROY HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE SANGEET LODHA Mr.A.K. Choudhary for the appellant. Mr.Deepak Choudhary, Deputy Government Counsel for the State. Heard learned counsel for the parties. The award passed by the learned Labour Court has been affirmed by the learned Single Judge of this Court, whereby and whereunder the employer was directed to pay a lump sum of Rs.23,000/- by way of compensation to the workman in lieu of the reinstatement. It would appear that the concerned workman was terminated in the year 1993 whereas the award was passed in the year 2000. The learned Labour Court on appreciation of pleadings of the parties, however, held that the concerned workman was entitled for the lump sum compensation and not for order of reinstatement. The learned Single Judge of this Court keeping in view the facts and circumstances of the case and also the fact that the concerned workman was terminated in 1993 and the award was passed in 2000, upheld the award passed by the labour court as in his discretion the same was found to be reasonable and in accordance with law. At this juncture, almost after 15 years, it would not be advisable to direct for reinstatement nor to enhance the compensation awarded to the concerned workman. For the reasons aforementioned, we do not find any just reason to interfere with the order impugned. This appeal accordingly is dismissed. (SANGEET LODHA),J. (NARAYAN ROY) C.J. vij
