SHAHID Vs. JUDGE INDUSTRIAL TRIBUNAL CUM LABOUR COURT

JUDGEMENT

(1.) THIS writ appeal has been preferred assailing the order passed by the Single Bench affirming the award passed by the labour court.

(2.) THE appellant Shahid worked in UIT, Udaipur for a short duration from 1.4.1988 to 31.1.1990. It was submitted that he was removed without complying with the provisions of Section 25F of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947 (hereinafter referred to as the Act of 1947 for short). He remained unemployed, thus, prayer for reinstatement is made.

(3.) IN the instant case, we find that the appellant has rendered the services approximately for 2 years. He approached the tribunal for reference after about 4 years. It appears that he was not very keen to pursue his continuance in service otherwise he would not have waited for 4 years. The labour court has exercised the jurisdiction to award compensation on sound principles of law and has referred various decisions of the Hon'ble Apex Court.
