THE instant intra -court appeal preferred on behalf of the appellant/respondent/workman (for short, 'the appellant/workman') is directed against the judgment and order dated 3rd December, 2001, passed by the learned Single Judge in S.B Civil Writ Petition No.911/1997. The learned Single Judge allowed the writ application filed by the non -appellant/petitioner/Executive Engineer, Public Works Department (for short, 'the respondent/employer') against the award dated 25th January, 1996 passed by the learned Judge, Labour Court, Jaipur in Labour Court Reference Case (LCR) Number 275/1991.

The reference reads thus: -

(3.) THE learned counsel for the appellant/workman challenging the validity and legality of the impugned order dated 3rd December, 2001 passed by the learned Single Judge; argued that the learned Single Judge committed grave illegality and error of law in setting aside the award dated 25th January, 1996. Further, the findings arrived at by the learned Single Judge are perverse for the reason that the counsel for the appellant/workman never admitted the fact that the appellant/workman was engaged on daily wages basis from time to time though a finding has been recorded to that effect. The learned counsel further contended that the submissions were advanced on the basis of contents of paragraph 6 to 12 of the award and he did not admit any of the documents. Moreover, neither the documents were placed with the memo of the writ application nor the record of the learned Labour Court was summoned by the learned Single Judge.
