PER COURT : By the present petition, the petitioner challenges the Award passed by the learned Labour Court dated 31-01-2009. 2. Mr. A.S. Shelke, learned Counsel appearing 2 on behalf of the petitioner submits that the learned Labour Court has erred in rejecting the Award. In support of that, learned Counsel for the petitioner submits that learned Labour Court ought to have held that since the respondent has failed to produce documents on record, an adverse inference ought to have been drawn against the respondent. 3. Mr. V.G. Shelke, learned A.G.P. appearing on behalf of the respondent supports the impugned order. 4. The Labour Court, on the basis of material placed on record has found that the petitioner had worked only for 154 days during the period 20-06-1992 to 31-07-1993, and as such not proved that he has worked for 240 days. The said finding is recorded on the basis of material placed on record, and therefore, no perversity is noticed in the said order. No interference is warranted in the exercise of extraordinary 3 jurisdiction of this Court under Article 227 of the Constitution of India. Hence the petition is rejected. (B.R.
