SATISH Vs. PRESIDING OFFICER AND ORS.

JUDGEMENT

(1.) Application is allowed as prayed for.

(2.) Having heard learned Counsel for the petitioner at length and having perused the pleadings on record, this Court is of the considered view that no basis for interference in the impugned award is warranted.

(3.) The statement of claim put forth by the petitioner-workman stands appended as Annexure P-1 along with the instant petition and his stand was that he had been engaged w.e.f. 5.1.1991 as Beldar on daily wage basis and had worked continuously till 7.1.2000, whereupon his services had been terminated verbally and without issuing any notice, wages in lieu of notice period or any retrenchment compensation. On the other hand, the claim of the workman was resisted on behalf of the management/employer stating that the petitioner had been engaged on daily wage basis on 12.6.1993 and had served upto August, 2000 but with heavy breaks of service in between. It was further contended on behalf of the management that the workman had thereafter left the job of his own accord.
