IN THE HIGH COURT FOR THE STATES OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. C.WP No. 14952 of 2009. [O&M] Date of Decision: 29th July, 2011. Bal Krishan Petitioner through Mr. Shailendra Sharma, Advocate Versus Presiding Officer, Central Government Industrial Tribunal & Ors. Respondents through Mr. Ranjan Lohan, Advocate. CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE SURYA KANT. 1. Whether Reporters of local papers may be allowed to see the judgment? 2. To be referred to the Reporters or not? 3. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest? SURYA KANT, J. [ORAL] The petitioner seeks quashing of the award dated 21.07.2009 passed by the Central Government Industrial Tribunal- cum-Labour Court, Chandigarh dismissing the reference. The question that was referred for adjudication to the Tribunal was as to whether the action of the management of the respondent Bank in terminating the services of the petitioner – workman was legal and justified. The Tribunal has answered the question after holding that the petitioner admittedly worked as a Daily Wager Peon from 19.05.1994 to 24.02.1995 and even if Sundays and holidays are taken into consideration, the total number of days comes to 226. That being so, the petitioner can not be deemed to have worked for 240 days in a calendar year and as such he can not be permitted to allege the non-compliance of the provisions of Section 25-F of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947. No interference with the impugned award is, thus, called for. Dismissed. Disposed of. Dasti. July 29, 2011. ( SURYA KANT ) dinesh JUDGE
