IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. L.P.A. No.351 of 2011 (O&M) Date of decision: 25.7.2011 Rakesh -----Appellant Vs. Presiding Officer & another -----Respondents CORAM:- HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE ADARSH KUMAR GOEL ACTING CHIEF JUSTICE HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE AJAY KUMAR MITTAL Present:- Mr. B.S. Rathee, Advocate for the appellant. --- ADARSH KUMAR GOEL, ACJ 1. This appeal has been preferred against order of learned Single Judge dismissing the writ petition against award of the Labour Court holding that the workman was not entitled to any relief. 2. The appellant-workman was employed as Sweeper with the Haryana State Industrial Development Corporation. After serving for about eight years, his services were terminated without any inquiry. The workman raised an industrial dispute which was referred for adjudication to the Labour Court. The stand of the Labour Court was that the workman was on daily wage basis and when his services were no longer required, he was retrenched after following the prescribed procedure. The L.P.A. No.351 of 2011 Labour Court upheld the plea of the management and held the retrenchment to be in accordance with the prescribed procedure and there was no violation of Section 25-F of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947 (for short, “the Act”). 3. Learned Single Judge upheld the award. It was observed that there was no material to show that any person junior to the petitioner had been retained in service in violation of Section 25-H of the Act. 4. We have heard learned counsel for the appellant. 5. In view of concurrent finding of fact recorded by the Labour Court and learned Single Judge that no person junior to the appellant has been retained and prescribed procedure has been followed, we do not find any ground to interfere. The appeal is dismissed. (ADARSH KUMAR GOEL) ACTING CHIEF JUSTICE July 25, 2011 ( AJAY KUMAR MITTAL ) ashwani JUDGE 2
