DATED: MARCH 14, 2007 MARCH 14, 2007 MARCH 14, 2007 P.C.: P.C.: P.C.: . The Petitioners challenge the award passed in Reference (IDA) No.82 of 2004. The Petitioner had remained absent although duly served with the notice. The Petitioners did not bother to file their written statement. In such circumstances, the case of the workman has gone uncontroverted. He was in uninterrupted service for 19 years and had been illegally terminated from service. In my view, there is no need to interfere with the award which has been passed on 15.7.2005. In any event, the Respondent has been reinstated by the Petitioners. Petition rejected.
