During the course of hearing, learned counsel for the appellant was confronted with the following observations recorded by the learned Single Judge while disposing of Civil Writ Petition No.1293 of 1998 :- “All the above contentions were raised by the petitioner before the Labour Court and the Labour Court vide its well reasoned award dated 13.8.1997 found the petitioner guilty of misappropriation of the funds by charging Rs.5/- from 21 passengers. The domestic inquiry also found the petitioner guilty. The Labour Court also found him guilty. Moreover, there is confession on the part of the petitioner. So in these circumstances, the finding of fact recorded by the Labour Court cannot be interfered with writ Jurisdiction.” LPA No. 116 of 2009 2 Learned counsel for the appellant could not controvert the factual position taken into consideration by the learned Single Judge, including the fact that the appellant had made a confession. In view of the above, we find no merit in this appeal and the same is, accordingly, dismissed. Since the instant appeal has been disposed of on merits, it is not necessary for us to pass any order in the application for condonation of delay in filing the appeal. ( J.S. Khehar ) Judge ( S.D.
