The Labour Court on consideration of evidence, made an award of reinstatement with full back wages and continuity of service. The learned single Judge, before whom the award was challenged, considered the evidence as well as the documents that had been placed before the Labour Court, and came to the conclusion that there was no illegality in the award. We are conscious of the fact that in this writ appeal, we cannot scrutinize the evidence once again. On scrutiny of evidence, the Labour Court has found that this was a case of retrenchment contrary to the provisions of Section 25(F) of the Industrial Disputes Act. Therefore, in our view no interference in the order of the learned single Judge is called for. Writ Petition is dismissed. No costs. ----------------------- (BILAL NAZKI, J) 13TH OCTOBER, 2004 ----------------------- (S.ANANDA REDDY, J) LUR Copy to: 1.The Presiding officer, Labour Court, Vishakapatnam. 2.
