Appellant Versus Presiding Officer, Labour Court-cum- Industrial Tribunal, Rohtak and another ... Respondents. CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE M.M. KUMAR HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE A.N. JINDAL Present: Mr. Manoj Kumar Sood,Advocate for the appellant 1.To be referred to the Reporter or not ? 2.Whether the judgement should be reported in the Digest ? M.M.KUMAR, J. The instant appeal under Clause X of the Letters Patent is directed against judgement dated 18.8.2009 rendered by the learned Single Judge in CWP No. 15333 of 1998. The learned Single Judge has upheld the award passed by the Labour Court declining reference sought at the instance of the workman-appellant. It has been held that the workman-appellant was appointed on contract for a particular purpose and for a specified period. She was terminated from service on the appointment of a regular employee and it did not amount to retrenchment and is covered by the provisions of Section 2(oo)(bb) of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1948. In the conclusion arrived at by the learned Single Judge a categorical finding is that no one has been appointed on adhoc basis after the termination of services of the workman- appellant. One Atro Devi was appointed on compassionate ground in the month of April, 1992. The appointment of Smt. Usha Rani who was appointed on 29.4.1995 on temporary basis has been discontinued LPA No. 169 of 2010 (O&M) 2 although vacancy for the post of Sweeper arose in the year 1996 which has been filled up on regular basis by following the prescribed procedure of advertisement etc. Having heard the learned counsel, we are of the considered view that no opportunity is provided to interfere with the opinion expressed by the learned Single Judge while upholding the award passed by the Labour Court. The appeal is wholly without merit and is accordingly dismissed. (M.M.Kumar) Judge (A. N. Jindal ) 14.7.2010 Judge okg
