The respondent appears to have been dismissed on the ground of absence without leave and the Labour Court has, in exercise of its jurisdiction and after appreciating the circumstance of sickness, granted the relief of reinstatement without backwages. No reason is made out to interfere with the impugned award in exercise of the extraordinary jurisdiction of this Court. The respondent is stated to have already been reinstated in service way back in March, 1996. The petition is, therefore, rejected and Rule is discharged with no order as to costs.
