S.B.CIVIL WRIT PETITION NO. 3381/2008 (M/s Vimal Distributors vs. Om Prakash & Ors.) Order dt: 5/5/2010 1/2 S.B.CIVIL WRIT PETITION NO. 3381/2008 (M/s Vimal Distributors vs. Om Prakash & Ors.) DATE OF ORDER : 5/5/2010 HON'BLE DR.JUSTICE VINEET KOTHARI Dr.Sachin Acharya, for the petitioner. Mr.D.K.Parihar, for the respondent. The only prayer made in this writ petition is that the learned Industrial Tribunal has erred in passing the impugned order dated 10/3/2008 and while allowing the representation through lawyer in the Industrial Tribunal to one of the workmen Om Prakash, learned Tribunal has rejected the said prayer for the other two workmen Bhanwar Lal and Bheru Lal even though common reference order was made for all the three workmen as to whether their termination w.e.f. 24/6/2006 was valid or not. Having heard the learned counsels, it appears to this Court that no cogent reason as been assigned in the order by the learned Tribunal as to why representation through lawyer could not be allowed to Bhanwar Lal & Bheru Lal, who are similarly situated to workman - Om Prakash, who has been allowed such representation S.B.CIVIL WRIT PETITION NO. 3381/2008 (M/s Vimal Distributors vs. Om Prakash & Ors.) Order dt: 5/5/2010 2/2 and common reference has been made for the aforesaid dispute. Under the provisions of Section 36(4) of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947, the Learned Tribunal can grant such permission to be represented through lawyer. Considering the submissions made at the bar, the present petition deserves to be allowed. Consequently, this writ petition is allowed and the order dated 10/3/2008 is set aside. The petitioner shall be allowed representation through lawyer before the learned Industrial Tribunal in relation to all the three workmen in question. The workmen shall also be allowed to be represented through lawyer, if they so choose. (DR.VINEET KOTHARI),J. Item no. 153 baweja/-
