By way of present petition, the petitioner challenges the order dated 29th November 2008, passed by the learned Presiding Officer of the Labour Court, Ahmednagar, in Reference (IDA) No. 28/2004, thereby answering the reference in the negative. (2) 2. It was the case of the petitioner, that the petitioner was working with the respondent since 1973 and he has completed more than 240 days in each calendar year. It is further the case of the petitioner, that he was orally terminated since 1-9-1984. 3. The Labour Court on the basis of the evidence adduced, found that there was delay of 16 years which was not at all explained. It was further found that the petitioner has utterly failed to prove that he has completed 240 days in any of the years. 4. In that view of the matter, no perversity could be found with the approach adopted by the Labour Court, so as to warrant interference in exercise of extraordinary jurisdiction of this court under Article 227 of the Constitution of India. 5. The petition is, therefore, dismissed. ( B.R. GAVAI ) JUDGE ...................... bgp/wp3011
