1 S.B.CIVIL WRIT PETITION NO. 3956/2006 Dariyav Kanwar Vs. Principal, Saint Annes Prep School, Rajeev Nagar, Jodhpur. Date of Order :: 17.4.2008 HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE GOVIND MATHUR Mr. Vijay Mehta, for the petitioner. Mr. S.G. Ojha, for the respondents. ... By the award dated 28.1.2005 the labour court, Jodhpur while answering a reference made to it by the notification dated 31.1.2004, declared termination of the petitioner workman from service bad and accordingly ordered for her reinstatement in service with 30% of back- wages for the period commencing from the date of reference i.e. 31.1.2004. The award aforesaid was notified on 6.8.2005 by the appropriate government as per the provision of Section 17 of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947. A notice for demand of justice was given to the employer by counsel for the petitioner workman for making compliance of the award referred above but of no consequence. Hence, this petition for writ is preferred. It is the position admitted between the parties that the employer has not given challenge to the award dated 28.1.2005 by availing any remedy before the appropriate forum, as such, the award has acquired finality. An award passed by the labour court, on its publication as per 2 Section 17 of the Act of 1947 acquires finality and that should be implemented, if not stayed or reversed by the higher court. I do not find any just reason for not making compliance of the directions given by the labour court under the award dated 28.1.2005. The writ petition, therefore, is allowed. The employer respondent is directed to make compliance of the directions given by the labour court, Jodhpur vide award dated 28.1.2005 within a period of one month from today. In the event the employer fails to make compliance of the award within the period specified, it shall be open for the petitioner to move an application in this petition for writ for taking appropriate action against the respondent-employer. No order as to cost. (GOVIND MATHUR), J. Jgoyal
