IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH C.W.P.No.3333 of 1993 Date of Decision:- 21.05.2009 Haryana Urban Development Authority through its Secretary ....Petitioner(s) vs. Anil Kumar and another ....Respondent(s) *** CORAM:- HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE AUGUSTINE GEORGE MASIH *** Present:- Mr.Dinesh Nagar, Advocate, for the petitioner. *** AUGUSTINE GEORGE MASIH, J. (Oral) In the present writ petition, challenge is to the order dated 8.12.1992 (Annexure P-3) vide which the Chandigarh Administration has referred the dispute between the petitioner and respondent No.1 for adjudication to the Labour Court-cum-Industrial Tribunal, Union Terrotory, Chandigarh. The reference was challenged on various grounds by the petitioner-Management by way of present writ petition. A perusal of the record would show that the case came up for hearing on 6.4.1993 when notice of motion was issued by this Court and ultimately, the case was admitted to hearing on 13.10.1993. During all these years from the very inception, there was no interim order staying the order of reference which is under challenge before this Court. The order impugned is dated 8.12.1992 whereby the dispute with regard to the termination of the services of respondent No.1 by the petitioner-Management was referred to the Labour C.W.P.No.3333 of 1993 -2- Court for adjudication. Counsel for the petitioner is unable to make a statement with regard to the fate of the reference. As the reference is dated 8.12.1992 and there was no stay granted by this Court, no useful purpose would be served by proceeding to decide the question raised by the Management at this belated stage when the reference would have been itself decided by the Labour Court.
