To be referred to the Reporter or not ? 2. Whether the judgement should be reported in the Digest ? M.M.KUMAR,J. 1. The instant appeal filed by the Divisional Forest Officer of the State of Haryana under Clause X of the Letters Patent is directed against judgement dated 4.10.2010. The learned Single Judge has categorically concluded that the appellant did not adduce any evidence. Their defence was struck off on the ground that no written statement was filed despite repeated opportunities given. Even the cost imposed was not paid. Therefore, the Labour Court was justified in deciding the reference in favour of the respondent-workman. The appeal is without merit and does not warrant admission. The same is accordingly dismissed.
