IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB & HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Civil Writ Petition No.21098 of 2011 Date of Decision : November 15, 2011. Anil Kumar .....Petitioner versus Union of India and another .....Respondents CORAM : HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE SURYA KANT. Present : Mr.Pritam Saini, Advocate, for the petitioner. -.- 1. Whether Reporters of Local papers may be allowed to see the judgment? 2. To be referred to the Reporters or not? 3. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest? --- Surya Kant, J. (Oral) The petitioner was appointed as a Sweeper-cum-Chowkidar on part-time basis in the Bhakra Beas Management Board (for short 'the BBMB') on 11.5.1999. He was allegedly retrenched without complying with the provisions of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947 w.e.f. 28.2.2006. The petitioner challenged the order of termination of his services before this Court and the said writ petition was disposed of with liberty to him to raise an industrial dispute. The petitioner thereafter served a demand notice and after holding the reconciliation proceedings, the Assistant Labour Commissioner (Central), Chandigarh is said to have sent a report dated 22.10.2009 to the effect that no compromise could take place. CWP No.21098 of 2011 [2] The petitioner has now approached this Court seeking a direction to the Union of India to make reference of the 'industrial dispute' to an Industrial Tribunal for adjudication. It is alleged that more than two years have gone but no decision has been taken so far. Having heard learned counsel for the petitioner and considering the nature of relief sought by him, I do not deem it necessary to issue notice/hear the BBMB-respondent No.2 as the order proposed to be passed is not likely to cause any prejudice to it. Without commenting upon the merits of the petitioner's case, I deem it appropriate to dispose of this writ petition with a direction to the Union of India through its Secretary, Ministry of Labour and Employment, to take an appropriate decision on the report dated 22.10.2009 said to have been sent by the Assistant Labour Commissioner, Chandigarh, in accordance with law, within a period of three months from the date of receiving a certified copy of this order. Ordered accordingly. Dasti. November 15, 2011 (SURYA KANT) Mohinder JUDGE
