KRISHNA LAL Vs. GURCHARAN LAL BHATIA AND SONS

JUDGEMENT

(1.) THESE two revision petitions have arisen from the same order dated 10. 3. 92 passed by the learned District Judge, Sri Ganganagar and hence, both the petitions are being disposed off by this common order.

(2.) AS against the claim of wage at the rate of Rs. 750/- per month for the period from 1. 1. 84 to 14. 5. 85, the Authority under the Payment of Wages Act, Sri Ganganagar, allowed the claim of Rs. 2350/- on account of wages for the period from 18. 1. 85 to 14. 5. 85. A compensation of Rs. 2350/- was also awarded to Krishanlal (petitioner in these revisions and applicant before the learned Authority ). In appeal, the learned D. J. , Sri Ganganagar, dismissed the appeal of the petitioner as time barred and partly allowed the appeal of the respondent (which was non-applicant before the learned Authority) and awarded the claim to the extent of Rs. 150/- only, being the wage for half month of May, 1995 at the rate of Rs. 300/- p. m. AS against this order of the learned D. J. Sriganganagar, these revision petitions, have been preferred.

(3.) EX. A. l to EX. A. 15 are the copies of the relevant cash book. The petitioner in his statement before the learned Authority has admitted that EX. A. l to EX. A. 15 are in his own handwriting. These documents go to show that the petitioner has taken a sum of Rs. 300/- every month from April, 1984 to April, 1985. From this, it is evident that the pay of the petitioner was Rs. 300/- p. m. and not Rs. 750/- p. m. as claimed by him.
