1 S.B. CIVIL WRIT PETITION NO.3203/2008. (RAMDEV VS. RSRTC & ANR.) DATE OF ORDER : 19.05.2008. HON'BLE MR. GOVIND MATHUR, J. Mr. M.S. Panwar for the petitioner. The appropriate government vide notification dated 07.12.1998 referred an industrial dispute for its adjudication to the Labour Court, Bhilwara in the terms as to whether the termination of workman Shri Ramdev s/o Shri Bhanwar Lal Bareth by employer Chief Engineer, Rajasthan State Road Transport Corporation, Bhilwara Depot w.e.f. 01.11.83 is just and valid, if not, then for what relief the workman is entitled. The dispute aforesaid was raised by the workman after a lapse of about 13 years from the date of his termination. The Labour Court by the award dated 08.12.2004 answered the reference by holding that the workman was never terminated from services by the Chief Manager, Rajasthan State Road Transport Corporation, Bhilwara Depot. It is the position admitted by the workman also that the termination was effected by the Chief Manager, Rajasthan State Road Transport Corporation, Ajmer. The Labour Court in view of the fact that 2 the termination of the petitioner was made by the Chief Manager, Rajasthan State Road Transport Corporation, Ajmer and not by the Chief Engineer, Bhilwara, rightly answered the reference. As a matter of fact, the reference made itself was not correct and the workman would have moved an application for correction therein. The employer of the workman in reference is shown as Chief Engineer, Rajasthan State Road Transport Corporation, Bhilwara Depot, whereas it should have been Chief Manager, Rajasthan State Road Transport Corporation, Ajmer. The Labour Court has not decided the reference on merits for the reasons above, thus, this petition for writ is disposed of by directing the appropriate government to make a fresh reference to the competent Labour Court by showing the Chief Manager, Rajasthan State Road Transport Corporation, Ajmer as employer of the petitioner.
