IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Civil Writ Petition No. 14257 of 2009 Date of decision: 11.11.2010 Ashok Nagotra ...Petitioner Versus Improvement Trust Batala and another ...Respondents CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RANJIT SINGH Present: Mr. Suresh Kumar, Advocate for Ms. Esha Gupta, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. Prem Kumar, Advocate for respondent No. 1. ***** RANJIT SINGH J. The petitioner-workman has come to challenge the award passed by the labour Court. The reference of the dispute regarding termination of the petitioner-workman, who was working as Peon against the post has been held in his favour but still, the petitioner was not reinstated and awarded compensation of Rs. 12,000/- in all. Considering that the compensation as awarded was inadequate, the respondent-management was asked to enhance the same. Counsel appearing for the management on instructions says that the management does not wish to say anything but would leave it for the Court to decide about the quantum of compensation. Keeping in view the service of 3 years rendered by the petitioner, the compensation of Rs. 30,000/- in all would appear adequate. Accordingly, the amount of compensation of Rs. 12,000/- Civil Writ Petition No. 14257 of 2009 -2- is enhanced to Rs. 30,000/-. Let the remaining amount be disbursed to the petitioner within a period of 3 months from the date of receipt of copy of this order. Except for this, no interference is called for in the award. The writ petition is, accordingly, dismissed. November 11, 2010 ( RANJIT SINGH ) rts JUDGE
