S.B. CIVIL WRIT PETITION NO.963/2008. (UMA RAM VS. RAJ. STATE MINES & MINERALS LTD. & ANR.) DATE OF ORDER : 28.05.2008. HON'BLE MR. GOVIND MATHUR, J. Mr. L.D. Khatri for the petitioner. By this petition for writ, a challenge is given to the award dated 27.01.2004 passed by the Labour Court, Jodhpur answering the reference made to it by the appropriate government under a notification dated 24.01.2001. Learned Labour Court after considering the entire evidence available on record, reached at the conclusion that the petitioner submitted an application seeking voluntary retirement and that was accepted by the employer and as such there is no illegality committed in discontinuing the petitioner from service by accepting the request for voluntary retirement. The contention of counsel for the petitioner is that before the date of voluntary retirement, an application was submitted by the petitioner to withdraw the request for voluntary retirement and the employer should have acted upon that. The argument advanced cannot be accepted as no application seeking withdrawal of the proposed voluntary retirement was placed on record or came before the Labour Court as evidence. No conclusion from mere statement before this Court can be drawn in this regard. The award impugned, therefore, does not suffer from any error that may warrant interference of this Court in its extraordinary jurisdiction. The petition for writ is accordingly dismissed.
