1 D.B. CIVIL SPECIAL APPEAL(W) NO.1071/2000 Ram Ratan Bhati Vs The Judge, Labour Court Jodhpur & Ors. Date of Order : 18.8.2008. HON'BLE THE CHIEF JUSTICE MR. NARAYAN ROY HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE SANGEET LODHA Mr. Mukesh Rajpurohit, for the appellant. Mr N.K. Mehta, Deputy Government Counsel, for the State. Heard learned counsel for the parties. By the impugned order, the award passed by the learned Labour Court directing the employer to make payment of a lump sum of Rs.21,000/- , has been affirmed. It appears from the materials on record that the concerned workman had continued under the respondent hardly for a year. Keeping this view of the matter, the learned Labour Court directed for payment of a lump sum compensation in lieu of the reinstatement. The award passed by the learned Labour Court in this view of the matter, cannot be said to be either bad in law or wholly without jurisdiction. 2 The order affirming the award therefore, in our opinion, cannot be faulted. This appeal accordingly is dismissed. (SANGEET LODHA),J. (NARAYAN ROY) C.J. vij
