A reference had been received by this Tribunal in the year 2002 in the following terms: “Whether the action of the management of the Chief Executive, Airport Authority of India, IGI Airport, New Delhi-37, in stopping from service w.e.f. 08.01.2002 Sh. Nagendra Prashad and 20 other workmen (as per annexure), engaged through M/s TDI International India Pvt. Ltd., Contractor, is just, valid and reasonable? If not, to what relief and benefits are they entitled?” After completion of pleadings, the following issues were framed for adjudication vide order dated 06.07.2006:

1. Whether the claimants are employees of Respondent No. 1? OPW.

2. Whether the claimants are employees of Respondent No. 2? OPW.

3. Whether the termination of services of the claimants w.e.f. 01.08.2000 is illegal and unjustified? OPW.

4. Whether the claimants are entitled to the relief claimed? OPW.

5. Relief. Thereafter, the claimants were called upon to lead their evidence. For the last nineteen years, the matter has remained pending at the stage of workmen’s evidence. One of the claimants was partly cross-examined in the year 2019. Thereafter, the Ld. AR for the claimants submitted that he was no longer in touch with the claimants. It is noted that the matter has not made any progress for a considerable period and continues to remain at the stage of workmen’s evidence. In these circumstances, when the claimants have failed to appear and adduce their evidence, the claim stands dismissed for non-prosecution. Award is passed accordingly. Let a copy of this Award be sent to the Appropriate Government for publication/notification under Section 17 of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947. File be consigned to the Record Room.
