This judgment in the centre: on the left the decisions it cites, on the right the decisions citing it. Colour is the treatment; choose a decision to open it.
ORDER:
1. This writ petition is filed seeking to issue a writ of certiorari calling for the records relating to and connected with I.D.No.67 of 2004 on the file of the 2[nd] respondent-Labour Court and quash the award dated 20.09.2006 passed therein holding it as illegal and arbitrary.
2. Heard the learned standing Counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioners and learned Counsel for the 1[st] respondent-workman.
3. It has been contended by the petitioner corporation that the 1[st] respondent workman was appointed as Driver in the corporation in the year 1991, and while so, on the ground that he caused fatal accident on 13.2.2000, he was removed from service vide order dated 23.9.2000 after conducting regular enquiry, and challenging the same, the 1[st] respondent unsuccessfully preferred an appeal before the competent authority and, thereafter, raised an industrial dispute in I.D.No.67 of 2004 on the file of the 2[nd] respondent – Labour Court under Section 2-A(2) of the Industrial Disputes Act and that the Labour Court without properly appreciating any of the contentions raised by the corporation, passed impugned award setting aside the order of removal and directing the corporation to reinstate the 1[st] respondent into service with continuity of service, but without back wages. Aggrieved thereby, the Corporation filed the present writ petition.
4. Learned counsel for the 1[st] respondent has contended that the Labour Court has rightly passed the award in favour of the workman and, therefore, no interference is called for.
5. This Court, having considered the submissions made by the learned counsel for the parties, is of the considered view that when once the Labour Court had exercised the power under Section 11-A of the Industrial Disputes Act, unless and until any illegality or irregularity is pointed out by the learned standing counsel for the petitioner corporation in the award passed by the Labour Court, this Court cannot interfere with the award. There are no merits in the writ petition.
6. Accordingly, the writ petition is dismissed. Consequently, miscellaneous petitions, if any, pending in the writ petition shall stand closed. No order as to costs.
