JUSTICE ASHUTOSH MOHUNTA. HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE KANWALJIT SINGH AHLUWALIA. PRESENT: MR. MANOJ CHAHAL, ADVOCATE FOR MR. JITNEDER DHANDA, ADVOCATE, FOR THE PETITIONER. ASHUTOSH MOHUNTA, J.(ORAL) The challenge in the writ petition is to the award dated 14.3.2008, passed by the Presiding Officer, Industrial Tribunal-cum-Labour Court, Hisar vide which the dispute between the Management and the workman was compromised as the workman had agreed to forego the entire back wages in lieu of reinstatement. Counsel for the petitioner submits that Suresh Chand Sharma, Manager of the petitioner-Society did not have any power to compromise the matter and there was no Resolution to this effect. Learned counsel further submits that no written compromise was placed before the Labour Court and hence the consent order could not have been passed by the Labour Court. We have perused the impugned award dated 14.3.2008, and on perusal we find that as the management was unable to pay the back wages, CWP No.8647 of 2008 -2- therefore, they had agreed to take him back in service on the condition that the workman would forego the entire back wages w.e.f. 1.4.2008. The Manager of the Management Sh. Suresh Chand Sharma agreed to compromise the matter on behalf of the management in the larger interest of the petitioner-Society. In view of the above, we find no merit in the writ petition and the same is dismissed. (ASHUTOSH MOHUNTA) JUDGE May 21, 2008 (KANWALJIT SINGH AHLUWALIA) Gulati JUDGE
