Office Notes, Office Memoranda of Coram, appearances, Court's orders Court's or Judge's orders or directions and Registrar's orders. CORAM : B.P. DHARMADHIKARI & F.M. REIS, JJ. JULY 27, 2009. Heard Shri Jaiswal, learned counsel for the appellant - employee and Shri Dhatrak, learned counsel for the respondent - Municipal Council. In connected Letters Patent Appeals, we have granted the applications for condonation of delay today. For the reasons stated in the said order, the present Civil Application for condonation of delay is also allowed. The Industrial Court as also the learned Single Judge has refused the prayer to pay pension to the legal heirs of the deceased employee Sona Gujar. We find that the employee was regularized on 21.07.1987 and she retired on 31.5.1998 i.e. after about 11 years and expired on 13.02.2000. According to the learned counsel for the appellant, the service is sufficient to qualify the employee for pension. He states that the period to the extent of 50% of the service on daily wages can be clubbed with 11 years towards making out the short fall, 2 if any. Shri Dhatrak, learned counsel for the Municipal Council states that there is no such challenge before the Industrial Court. In the circumstances, we permit the appellants to move appropriate representation before the Municipal Council in this respect within a period of one month from today. If such a representation is made, the same shall be decided in accordance with law by the Municipal Council within a further period of three months thereafter. JUDGE JUDGE *GS.
