CHIEF ENGINEER DISTRIBUTION Vs. PRESIDING OFFICER

JUDGEMENT

(1.) THE respondent No. 2 - workman is an employee of Dakshinanchal Vidyut Vitran Nigam Ltd., which is having its own identity, and financial liability ultimately falls upon it, but he has chosen not to approach this Court, therefore, objection was raised on behalf of petitioner workman regarding maintainability of the writ petition.

(2.) LOOKING to the nature of the dispute, I am not entering into this controversy, since, in my view, the matter can be considered on merit and decided, hence I proceed to consider the matter and decide it.

(3.) SHRI Rajendra Kumar Mishra, learned counsel for the petitioner contended that Escort Heart Centre, Kanpur was not approved medical hospital for the purposes of medical reimbursement in view of Office Memorandum dated 24.5.1978 and hence, the expenses incurred thereat were not permissible to be reimbursed and the labour Court has acted illegally in allowing the claim of respondent - workman, in this regard.
