EMPLOYERS IN RELATION TO THE MANAGEMENT OF BHARAT COKING COAL LIMITED Vs. THEIR WORKMEN BEING REPRESENTED BY THE AREA PRESIDENT, RASHTRIYA COLLIERY MAZDOOR SANGH

JUDGEMENT

(1.) HEARD learned respective counsel appearing on behalf of the parties.

(2.) THE main grievance of the Petitioner is that the award dated 20th January, 2005 passed by the Presiding Officer, Central Government Industrial Tribunal (No. 2), Dhanbad in Reference No. 155 of 2000 was an ex parte award without sufficient notice to the management.

(3.) I have gone through the impugned order, I have not been able to come across any such finding that valid service was effected on the management legally and the management, inspite of service of notice, intentionally and deliberately avoided to appear before the Labour Court. The lower court records was called for.
