PRESIDING OFFICER AND OTHERS Respondents

JUDGEMENT

(1.) The petitioner is aggrieved by the award dated 27.1.1995, Annexure P-1, passed by the Labour Court, Ambala whereby it was held that he was not entitled to any relief. Through the instant writ petition filed under Articles 226/227 of the Constitution of India, he seeks quashing of the same.

(2.) The following facts emerge from his pleadings:-

(3.) Respondent No. 3 contested the claim of the petitioner. It has been pleaded that the petitioner joined the service of answering respondent in October, 1979 and he worked till September, 1983. The services of the petitioner were never terminated but he himself remained absent and left the service of his own. As the petitioner was working as a daily wager, there was no necessity for issuance of any charge-sheet and holding of any enquiry. It was not mandatory on the part of respondent to pay retrenchment compensation as the petitioner himself abandoned his job by absenting himself.
