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.
1. On receiving Order No. L-22012/100/2022-IR(CM-II) dated 02.12.2022 from the Government of India, Ministry of Labour, New Delhi for adjudication of the dispute, a Reference case was registered on 08.12.2022 and an order was passed for issuing notice to the parties through registered post, directing them to appear and submit their written statements along with relevant documents in support of their claims.
2. Mr. P.K. Das, learned advocate for the management of Eastern Coalfields Limited has appeared and filed a petition stating therein that the management of Eastern Coalfields Limited has provided employment to Badal Routh, brother of Late Uttam Routh by issuing a letter of appointment bearing No. ECL/Ken/P&IR/Appt./93/42 dated 26.08.2024.

3. Management filed their written statement on 17.04.2023 and Badal Routh filed his written statement on 22.05.2023. The case was thereafter fixed for evidence of workman witness. On 05.09.2023, workman witness was examined in part. The case was then fixed for further evidence of workman witness. On call at 12.40 PM, none appeared for Badal Routh. No union representative is present.
4. Initially management stated in their written statement that screening and Initial Medical Examination of the concerned person has been held and the file is pending for final approval of the Eastern Coalfields Limited at their Headquarters and the Industrial Dispute raised before this Tribunal may be dropped. Perused the appointment letter bearing No. ECL/Ken/P&IR/Appt./93/42 dated 26.08.2024 addressed to Badal Routh which reveals that appointment has been offered to him as “Time Rated Trainee (Underground)” for a period of six months. In his application, learned advocate for management stated that the concerned person has already joined his place of posting on 03.09.2024. Considered the same. It appears to me that the purpose of raising this Industrial Dispute has been satisfied and no dispute exists between the parties over the compassionate employment. The reference case is therefore dismissed in the form of No Dispute. Let a No Dispute Award be drawn up.
Hence, O R D E R E D that a No Dispute Award be drawn up in the above Reference case. Let copies of the Award in duplicate be sent to the Ministry of Labour and Employment, Government of India, New Delhi for information and Notification.
