DIVISIONAL ENGINEER, TELECOM PROJECT Vs. AJIT SINGH

Decided On April 23, 2015
Divisional Engineer, Telecom Project Appellant
V/S
AJIT SINGH Respondents

JUDGEMENT

(1.) Since common questions of law and facts are involved in both the appeals, they are taken up together for disposal.

(2.) The appellant is the writ petitioner, who challenged before the writ Court the award passed by the Central Government Industrial Tribunal-cum-Labour Court, Chandigarh, whereby after holding the termination to be void ab initio, it ordered the reinstatement of the respondents with all consequential benefits.

(3.) The award had been assailed on the ground that the same was based on surmises and conjectures and had been passed without application of mind because once the project had come to an end the Labour Court could not have passed direction for reinstating the respondents.
