Sunil Chandra & another. -----Respondents. CORAM:- HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE ADARSH KUMAR GOEL ACTING CHIEF JUSTICE HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE AJAY KUMAR MITTAL Present:- Mr. Raman B. Garg, Advocate for the appellant. --- 1. Whether the reporters of local newspapers may be allowed to see the judgment? 2. To be referred to the Reporter or not? 3. Whether the judgment should be reported in the digest or not? ADARSH KUMAR GOEL, ACJ 1. This appeal has been preferred by the Market Committee against order of learned Single Judge upholding the order of the Labour Court for grant of wages for 10 months to the respondent-workman. 2. The respondent-workman was held to be entitled to reinstatement vide award of the Labour Court dated 1.12.2000 which attained finality. The appellant implemented the award L.P.A. No.888 of 2011 after 10 months on 6.10.2001 which led the workman to file an application before the Labour Court for wages. Accordingly, the Labour Court directed the appellant to the pay wages, against which the appellant filed writ petition which has been dismissed by learned Single Judge. 3. We have heard learned counsel for the appellant. 4. We are surprised that even when no statable case is involved, an appeal has been filed in this Court. Admittedly, the award became final and the workman became entitled to wages for the period the award remained unimplemented. There is, thus, no justification, whatsoever, for this appeal. 5. Accordingly, the appeal is dismissed with costs quantified at `10,000/- to be deposited with the High Court Legal Aid Committee. The Market Committee will be at liberty to recover the amount of costs from the person responsible for filing this frivolous appeal.
