IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE FOR RAJASTHAN BENCH AT JAIPUR ORDER S.B. Civil Writ Petition No.9379/02 Ratan Singh vs. State & Ors. Date of Order : : 28/1/2009 HON’BLE MR.JUSTICE MOHAMMAD RAFIQ Shri R.P. Garg for petitioner. Shri Zakir Hussain, Addl. Govt. Counsel for State. This writ petition has been filed challenging the order of retrenchment of the petitioner dated 5.12.2002. Learned counsel for the petitioner has argued that the reason for retrenching the petitioner is wholly unfounded because the respondents have retrenched the petitioner on the ground that the vehicle on which he was engaged as driver has been sold out in acquisition, whereas the fact is that the petitioner was also additionally working as Sales Man. Learned counsel argued that the compliance of Section 25-F and 25-H of the Industrial Disputes Act has not 1 been made. Even otherwise the order of retrenchment is bad in law. The respondents in reply to the writ petition have submitted that petitioner may avail alternative remedy under the Rajasthan Cooperative societies Act and further since he was aggrieved by non compliance of the Industrial Disputes Act, therefore, he should have approached the Industrial Tribunal. In the circumstances, the writ petition is disposed of with liberty to the petitioner to approach the appropriate Government. If the petitioner files any such application before the appropriate government, the concerned authority shall pass appropriate orders for making of reference to the Industrial Tribunal / Labour Court in accordance with law.
