THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V. RAMULU Thursday, 7th day of February,2008 W.P.No.13241 of 2001 Between:- K. Shankaraiah … Petitioner and The Industrial Tribunal-cum-Labour Court at Godavarikhani, rep. by its Presiding Officer & another … Respondents THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V. RAMULU W.P.No.13241 of 2001 ORAL ORDER: This Writ Petition is filed seeking a Certiorari to call for the records relating to the Award dated 19-2-2001 passed in I.D.No.11 of 1999 on the file of Industrial Tribunal-cum-Labour Court, Godavarikhani and to quash the same as arbitrary and illegal. Under the impugned Award, the dispute raised by the petitioner under Section 2-A(2) of the Industrial Disputes Act,1947 was rejected and no relief was granted. There is no necessity of going into all the details. The award passed by the Industrial Tribunal-cum-Labour Court, Godavarikhani is not in tune with the procedure of adjudication of a dispute between the parties. Though the exhibits as marked before the Labour Court was indicated and content was recorded, there was no evaluation of the evidence and a mechanical award was passed rejecting the claim of the petitioner, simply saying that the charges against the petitioner are proved and the punishment of removal from service is proportionate to that of the charges proved. This practice made by the Labour Court is liable to be deprecated. Labour Court is supposed to evaluate the evidence on either side and furnish reasons for coming to the conclusion that the charges are proved or the punishment of removal from service is proportionate to that of the misconduct alleged against the workman. In the instant case, no such attempt was made by the Labour Court. Therefore, the impugned Award is not in consonance with the adjudicatory procedure to be adopted by the Labour Court, apart from being arbitrary and illegal; therefore, the same is liable to be set aside. Accordingly, the Writ Petition is allowed and the impugned Award is set aside. The matter is remitted back to Industrial Tribunal- cum-Labour Court, Godavarikhani for reconsideration and for passing a fresh Award as per law, after putting all the parties on notice, in this regard. Labour Court shall dispose of the matter within a period of three months from the date of receipt of a copy of this Order. No order as to costs. 07-2-2008 Office to furnish CC within one week.
