GAJJU SINGH Vs. EXECUTIVE ENGINEER

JUDGEMENT

(1.) Petitioner has preferred this writ petitions seeking following reliefs:-

(2.) The petitioner was engaged on daily wages @ Rs.22/- per day and worked from 21/05/1992 to 03/09/1992 in the Office of Assistant Engineer, PHED, Dudu for 78 days. The petitioner thereafter worked in the Office of Executive Engineer, PHED, Jaipur Rural from 04/08/1992 to 03/10/1992 for a period of 49 days and thereafter with Assistant Engineer, PHED, Chaksu from 06/11/1992 to 20/05/1993 for a period of 147 days.

(3.) The retrenchment was challenged and the reference was made to the Labour Court No.1, Jaipur. The Labour Court has principally decided the claim of the petitioner against him on the ground that since the petitioner has not completed 240 clear days before the date of retrenchment in the previous year, therefore, he does not have any reason to get the protection of the provisions of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947.
