1 S.B. CIVIL WRIT PETITION NO. 5193/2008. (TEERJI @ DHEERJI VS. STATE & ORS.) DATE OF ORDER : 01.08.2008. HON'BLE MR. GOVIND MATHUR, J. Mr. B.D. Mittal for the petitioner. By this petition for writ, a challenge is given to the award dated 22.11.2002 passed by the labour court, Udaipur answering the reference made to it by the appropriate government under the notification dated 22.02.2000. To explain the delay of about six years, it is stated by counsel for the petitioner that he was dependent upon leaders of Mahi Shramik Sangh, Banswara, who had represented him before the Labour Court, but no adequate information was given to him and only in May 2008, the leader of INTUC assured him to interfere and inform the details regarding his case. He received information about disposal of the dispute in the month of June 2008 and, therefore, delay is caused in filing the writ petition. The explanation given by the petitioner in causing the delay, does not bear any confidence as the dispute was raised in the year 2000 and the same stood decided in the year 2 2002. The petitioner has stated in the petition that delay was caused and he himself made an enquiry about the dispute only in the year 2008. A trade union represents its workmen and, therefore, a workman is required to be vigilant enough regarding disposal of the dispute relating to him. The petition for writ suffers from totally unexplained satisfactory delay and therefore, I do not consider it appropriate to interfere with the matter at this belated stage. Accordingly, the petition for writ is dismissed. (GOVIND MATHUR)J. Anil/
