JUSTICE RITU BAHRI Present:- Mr. J.S. Cooner, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. D.S. Nalwa, Addl.A.G. Haryana. RITU BAHRI J.(Oral) Challenge is to the Award dated 5.4.2010 (Annexure P-1). It is not disputed by counsel for the parties that the petitioner had been appointed as part time Chowkidar on 1.1.2001 and he was paid only Rs.1200/- per month from the P.T.A. Funds. On 26.9.2008 he was relieved on joining of a regular employee. It is not disputed that he was relieved on 11.11.2006 and prior to his termination he has completed 240 days in service. The petitioner was not given retrenchment compensation as contemplated under Section 25-F of the Industrial Disputes Act. Since a regular employee has joined, the Award of the Labour Court declining reinstatement is upheld. On the question of non-compliance of Section 25-F of the Industrial Disputes Act that the petitioner has served for almost six years with the Department, compensation of Rs.10,000/- is appropriate. The writ petition is disposed of and the Award is modified to the Civil Writ Petition No.31 of 2011 ` -2- extent that Rs.10,000/- will be paid to the petitioner as retrenchment compensation August 26, 2011 ( RITU BAHRI ) Vijay Asija JUDGE
