THEIR WORKMAN UNION REPRESENTED Vs. UNION OF INDIA

JUDGEMENT

(1.) Heard counsel for the parties.

(2.) The present writ petition has been filed against the order of refusal as contained in letter dated 19.02.2018. The impugned order of refusal reads as under:-

(3.) "Shri Raj Kumar Ram, Ex. Miner Loader was dismissed by the Alakusa Colliery Under Kusunda Area M/s BCCL on 23.04.2004 due to unauthorized absence after conducting a proper enquiry against him as he was a habitual absentee. The action of management was not challenged by the union/ aggrieved person during the relevant time under the ID Act. The raising of issue after passage of more than 10 years from cause of action is highly belated. In this connection, the judgement of Hon'ble Supreme Court in the case of Nedungadi Bank Ltd. Vs K. P. Madhavan Kutty has held that - A dispute should be raised within a reasonable time."?
