JUDGEMENT
-
(1.) Heard learned counsel for the parties.
(2.) Brief facts of this intra Court appeal are that
workman/petitioner/appellant was removed from service by
the employer/respondent. The employer filed an application
under Section 33(2)(b) of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947
(for short 'the Act') for approval of order of dismissal of
workman. The application was dismissed by the Industrial
Tribunal, Jaipur vide order dated 06.10.2004 on the ground
that no charge has been proved against the workman. The said
order has attained finality, however, petitioner was not
reinstated in service and was not allowed to work. Thereafter,
he preferred S.B. Civil Writ Petition No.1073/2005 before the
Single Bench with a prayer to issue an appropriate writ holding
that petitioner is entitled to be reinstated in service with all
consequential benefits and treating that no order of
termination was ever passed against him.
(3.) Learned Single Judge, vide impugned order dated
15.02.2005, came to a conclusion that approval application
filed by employer has been dismissed on merits, therefore,
petitioner has to be treated as continuing in service and is also
entitled for all consequential benefits from the date of
termination till he is reinstated. However, the writ petition was
dismissed observing that no specific declaration is required to
be made by this Court. It is for the petitioner to approach the
Labour Court under Section 33(C)(2) or even the Payment of
Wages Authority claiming his due salary and computation can
be made by the concerned court/ Authority. The Single Bench
has further held that this Court under its writ jurisdiction does
not sit as an executing court in such matters, moreso, when
the petitioner has sufficient effective alternative remedies
under the various labour laws. Being aggrieved with the order
of the Single Bench, the workman has preferred this intra
Court appeal.;
