Deshpande, Advocate for petitioner. Shri. M.D. Gitte, Advocate for respondent. CORAM : R.K. DESHPANDE, J. DATE : 16th July, 2010. ORAL JUDGMENT : 1. This writ petition challenges the award dated 17.4.1995 passed by the Labour Court at Aurangabad in Reference IDA No. 110/1989. By this award, the Labour Court has answered the reference in favour of the employee and the petitioner/employer is directed to reinstate the employee with continuity of service and full backwages. 2. Heard the learned counsel for the parties. Perusal of the award passed by the Labour Court clearly indicates that there is no finding that 2 respondent/employee has continuously worked for more than 240 days in service immediately preceding to the date of his termination. There is also no finding that no notice was given to the respondent/employee nor any compensation was paid, as required by Section 25-F of the Industrial Disputes Act. In the absence these findings, the order of reinstatement with continuity in service with full backwages, cannot be sustained. The same is, therefore, liable to be set aside. 3. In the result, the instant writ petition is allowed. The judgment and award dated 17.4.1995 passed by the Labour Court in Reference IDA No. 110/1989 is hereby quashed and set aside. Matter is remitted back to the Labour Court to decide the reference afresh, after giving the parties an opportunity to file their additional statements and to lead evidence in the matter. The Labour Court to decide the matter within the period of six months from the date of receipt of writ from this Court. Rule is made absolute in the aforesaid terms. No order as to costs. [ R.K.
