WP/3508/2010 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CIVIL APPELLATE JURISDICTION WRIT PETITION NO.3508 OF 2010 Mehmood Daood Shaikh ... Petitioner V/s. Tata Engineers & Locomotive Co. Ltd., Pune ... Respondent Mr. Jaydeep S. Deo for the Petitioner. Mr. K.S. Bapat for the Respondent. CORAM : SMT. NISHITA MHATRE, J. DATE : 8 TH FEBRUARY, 2011. P.C. : 1. The petitioner has approached this Court against the rejection of the Award dated 29th December, 2009 passed by the Labour Court, Pune in Reference (IDA) No.867 of 2002. The petitioner was charged with habitual absence without leave. The Labour Court has found that the enquiry held against him was fair and proper and that the findings of the enquiry officer were not perverse. The Labour Court has also observed that the service record of the petitioner was far from creditable. The Reference has therefore been rejected. 2. The petitioner has unauthorizedly remained absent 124 days on 50 occasions for the period from January, 1999 to November, 1999 and again from WP/3508/2010 2 February, 2000 to August, 2000 for 109 days on 16 occasions. The service record of the petitioner, which is mentioned in the dismissal order, indicates that he was warned on several occasions and was even suspended from duty for four days. 3. With such a dismal service record of the petitioner, in my opinion, there is no need to interfere with the impugned Award dated 29th December, 2009 passed by the Labour Court, Pune in Reference (IDA) No.867 of 2002. 4. The Writ Petition is rejected.
