JUSTICE RITU BAHRI Present:- Mr. Praveen Chander Goyal, Addl.A.G. Punjab. RITU BAHRI J. Challenge in this petition is to the order dated 19.1.2011 (Annexure P-3) whereby an application made by the Department for reviewing the Award dated 1.3.2006 has been dismissed. Mr. Praveen Chander Goyal, Addl. A.G. Punjab has argued that vide Award dated 1.3.2006 a categoric finding was given that the workman had abandoned the job at his own on 13.5.1997. A statement was made by the representative of the respondent that he shall be taken back as a fresh appointee. Subsequently, a review application was filed taking the plea that this statement was made by the representative of the Management inadvertantly. Once it is held that the respondent had abandoned the job, he was not entitled for reinstatement. A perusal of the Award goes to show that the representative of the respondent Management had made a statement that they are ready to take the workman back on duty on the basis of fresh appointment, if he so desired. This Civil Writ Petition No. 15607 of 2011 -2- observation was not made by the Labour Court inadvertently. The writ petition is dismissed. August 25, 2011 ( RITU BAHRI ) Vijay Asija JUDGE
