CWP No. 551 of 2006 2.3.2009 Present: Mr. Rakesh Thakur, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. R.K. Sharma, Sr. Addl. A.G. with Mr. Rajinder Dogra, Addl. A.G. and Mr. Vikas Rathore, Dy.A.G. for the respondents. The petitioner has assailed office order dated 5.5.2006 whereby the Labour Commissioner has refused to refer the matter to the Labour Court. The petitioner was retrenched in the month of March 1993. He has raised the demand for the first time on 6.8.2004. The matter remained before the Conciliation Officer between August, 2004 to June, 2005. It was only on 5.5.2006 that the Labour Commissioner has refused to refer the matter to the Labour Court on the ground of unexplained/inordinate delay of eleven years. The only explanation given for delay is that the petitioner has been visiting the office of the employer. There is no tangible evidence on record of his visits to the office. There is neither any illegality nor any procedural irregularity in order dated 5.5.2006. Accordingly, there is no merit in this writ petition and the same is dismissed. No costs. (Rajiv Sharma), J. March 2, 2009. (cr)
