C.W.P No. 6883 of 1992 (O&M) ::1:: IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH C.W.P No. 6883 of 1992 (O&M) Date of decision : April 19 , 2011 Surinder Kumar, ...... Petitioner v. Presiding Officer Industrial Tribunal-cum-Labour Court, Hisar & others, ...... Respondents. *** CORAM : HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE AJAY TEWARI *** Present : Mr. O.P.Sharma, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. Tejinder Pal Singh, Advocate for the respondents. *** 1. Whether Reporters of Local Newspapers 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 ? *** AJAY TEWARI, J (Oral) This writ petition has been filed by the petitioner-workman challenging the non-award of back wages. The petitioner was employed as a mechanical Helper with respondent No.2. The allegation was that even though he was not authorized to do so, he drove the vehicle and damaged it and that is why his services were terminated. C.W.P No. 6883 of 1992 (O&M) ::2:: Counsel for the petitioner has argued that the petitioner could not have been awarded the penalty of dismissal since the accident admittedly occurred in the workshop and the petitioner was parking the vehicle on the side after repair. This argument was accepted by the learned Labour Court, who however, dis-entitled the petitioner for back wages on the ground that he had caused the accident negligently. In my opinion, the finding of negligence cannot be faulted. Once that is so, no interference is called for in the Award. Consequently, this writ petition is dismissed. ( AJAY TEWARI ) April 19, 2011.
