Respondents Coram: Hon'ble Mr. Justice Ashutosh Mohunta Present: Mr. Arun Walia, Advocate with G.C. Gupta, Advocate for the petitioners. Mr. Arun Walia, Advocate with Mr. Gulshan Sharma, Advocate for the respondent-workman. ... ASHUTOSH MOHUNTA, J. (Oral) This order shall dispose of C.W.P. Nos. 3993, 8423, 9578, 10186, 11024, 11025 and 11027 to 11033 of 1990 as common question of law and fact arises in all these cases. For the sake of convenience, facts have been extracted from C.W.P. No. 3993 of 1990. The petitioner-Punjab State Civil Supplies Corporation Ltd. through its Managing Director has filed this writ petition impugning the award vide which the respondent-workman was held entitled to C.W.P. No. 3993 of 1990 [ 2 ] reinstatement with continuity of service and full back wages. The workman was further directed to report for duty within 30 days of the publication of the award. A perusal of the impugned award shows that the workman had worked for more than one year i.e. more than 240 days during 12 calender months as prescribed under Section 25-B of the Industrial Disputes Act and the termination of the workman's services was held to be unlawful and unjustified as he has been retrenched without notice as required under Section 25-F of the Industrial Disputes Act. Counsel for the petitioners submits that the workman is not entitled to claim full back wages as he had not worked after his retrenchment. This contention of the counsel for the petitioner is rejected as it has been found that the services of the workman were terminated without following the procedure as envisaged under Section 25-F of the Industrial Disputes Act and ignoring Section 25-B of the Industrial Disputes Act. In view of the above, I find no infirmity in the award passed by the Labour Court. Resultantly, the writ petition is dismissed and a direction is issued to the petitioners to implement the award passed by the Labour Court within a period of four months from today. 17.3.2010 ( ASHUTOSH MOHUNTA ) Rupi JUDGE
