1 S.B.CIVIL WRIT PETITION NO.4358/2008 State of Rajasthan Vs. Sh. Lalaram & Anr. Date of Order :: 14.7.2008 HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE GOVIND MATHUR Mr. S.S. Ladrecha, for the petitioner. ... By this petition for writ a challenge is given to the order dated 23.6.2007 passed by the labour court, Jodhpur exercising powers under Section 33 C(2) of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947. The labour court by the order impugned determined the back-wages for which the petitioner was declared entitled under the award dated 20.3.2002 passed in Industrial Disputes Case No.118/99. The contention of the petitioner is that no determination of back-wages could have been made by the labour court. I do not find any substance in the argument advanced. While declaring retrenchment of the petitioner bad the labour court by its award dated 20.3.2002 directed for reinstatement of the workman with back-wages. The entitlement of the petitioner for back-wages was declared in the award impugned itself, and therefore, under the provisions of Section 33 C(2) of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947, the labour court rightly determined the back-wages. It is pertinent to note 2 that there is no dispute regarding entitlement of the petitioner for back-wages and also for the rate of the wages. In view of it, the order impugned does not suffer from any error that may warrant interference of this Court under Article 226 and 227 of the Constitution of India. The petition for writ is dismissed accordingly. (GOVIND MATHUR), J. Jgoyal
