Presiding Officer, Industrial Tribunal-cum-Labour Court, Circle-I, Faridabad, and another. ... Respondents. CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE AUGUSTINE GEORGE MASIH. Present:- Mr. S.P. Chahar, Advocate, for the petitioner. AUGUSTINE GEORGE MASIH, J. (ORAL). In the present writ petition, the challenge is to the award dated 10.03.2008 (Annexure-P-1), vide which the Industrial Tribunal-cum-Labour Court, Circle-I, Faridabad, has rejected the reference made by the appropriate Government against the workman holding therein that the reference itself is premature for the reason that the services of the workman has not been terminated by the respondent-management as a matter of fact the workman had refused to accept the offer made by the respondent-management during the conciliation proceedings and thereafter before the Labour Court for joining. Counsel for the petitioner contends that the workman is ready and willing to accept the offer put forth by the respondent-management during the conciliation proceedings and thereafter before the Labour Court. C.W.P. No. 2311 of 2009. He contends that an opportunity be given to him to approach the respondent- management for availing his appropriate remedy. On going through the award, no illegality can be said to have been committed by the Labour Court while returning the finding with regard to the reference being premature. The finding as recorded by the Labour Court is sound and based on the evidence which have been produced by the parties before the Labour Court. As submitted by counsel for the petitioner it would always be open to the workman to avail the remedy of approaching the respondent-management for taking him back in service. Finding no merit in the writ petition, the same stands dismissed. (AUGUSTINE GEORGE MASIH) JUDGE February 24, 2009. sjks. -2-
