JUDGEMENT

(1.) The Petitioner has filed the present Writ Petition in seeking the relief of Writ of Certiorari in calling for the records from the file of the 1st Respondent/Labour Court, Vellore in I.D. No. 206 of 1996 and to quash the Award dated 24.06.2002.

(2.) The 1st Respondent/Labour Court, Vellore, while passing the Award dated 24.06.2002 in I.D. No. 206 of 1996, has, among other things, observed that 'the Writ Petitioner/Petitioner as per Ex.W.9 has worked for 61 days, as per Ex.W.10 has worked for 504 days as stated in the written argument. But, on perusal of Ex.W.10, it is shown that the Petitioner has worked for 61 days and viewed in that perspective, since it is not to be seen that the Petitioner has worked for 240 days in a year, he cannot be ordered to be reinstated and resultantly, passed an Award to that effect.'
