Mr.D.S.Nalwa, Addl.A.G., Haryana, for the respondents. *** AUGUSTINE GEORGE MASIH, J. (Oral) Counsel for the petitioner states that the present case deserves to be remanded to the Labour Court in the light of the fact that no specific finding has been recorded by the Labour Court with regard to the days the petitioner-workman had worked with the respondent-Management in the 12 preceding months from the date of her termination. She contends that the finding on this aspect is essential as rights under Section 25-F of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947 and other provisions of the Act flow from that finding. In this regard, a specific reference has been made to the judgment of the Hon'ble Supreme Court in the case of District Telecom Manager and others vs. Keshab Dev, 2008 (4) S.C.T.33 and a Division Bench judgment of this Court in the case of State of Haryana vs. Ishwar Singh and another, 2008 (3) S.C.T. 788. Counsel for the respondent could not dispute the contention as raised by the counsel for the petitioner. C.W.P.No.1850 of 2010 -2- In view of the fact that no finding has been recorded by the Labour Court on the question as to how many days of service the work- lady had put in during the 12 preceding months from the date of her termination, the present writ petition is allowed; impugned Award dated 31.10.2008 (Annexure P-1) passed by the Presiding Officer, Labour Court, Ambala, is set aside and the case is remanded to the Labour Court for fresh adjudication in accordance with law.
