CWP No. 6723 of 2010 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH CWP No. 6723 of 2010 Date of decision: 09.04.2010 Shri Pal s/o Sh. Shyam Lal ...... PETITIONER VERSUS The Presiding Officer, Labour Court, Ambala and another ....... RESPONDENTS CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE AUGUSTINE GEORGE MASIH Present: Mr. V.K.Gupta, Advocate, for the petitioner. *** AUGUSTINE GEORGE MASIH, J. (ORAL) Prayer in the present writ petition is for quashing of the Award dated 20.04.2009 (Annexure P-1) passed by the Labour Court, Ambala, vide which the reference has been answered against the workman wherein it has been held that the workman has himself voluntarily submitted his resignation letter and has also withdrawn the provident fund by submitting an application to respondent No. 2-Management, which was, as a matter of fact, refunded to him. This finding is based on the statement given by the workman in his cross-examination, which has been reproduced in the Award itself. CWP No. 6723 of 2010 2 Counsel for the petitioner submits that apart from the fact that the workman has admitted the factum before the Labour Court with regard to the resignation and the receipt of the provident fund, other benefits, which he was entitled to, have not been paid to the petitioner by respondent No. 2-Management. He, therefore, contends that liberty may be granted to the petitioner to avail the said benefits from respondent No. 2. I have heard the counsel for the petitioner and have gone through the records of the case. In view of the findings given by the Labour Court with regard to the petitioner having submitted his own resignation voluntarily and also the claim of the receipt of the provident fund amount from respondent No. 2, the findings recorded by the Labour Court cannot be said to be not in accordance with law or based on no evidence which would call for any interference by this Court. However, in case the petitioner is entitled to some other benefits for the service which he had rendered with respondent No. 2 such as gratuity and other benefits, the petitioner is at liberty to make such a claim in accordance with law. Petition stands disposed of accordingly. ( AUGUSTINE GEORGE MASIH ) JUDGE April 09, 2010 pj
