VERSUS
STATE OF JHARKHAND Respondents

JUDGEMENT

- (1.) Heard the learned Counsel for petitioner and learned Counsel for respondent - S.K. Roy.
(2.) It is submitted by learned Counsel for petitioner that the learned Labour Court, Jamshedpur in Ref. Case No. 3 of 1990 has wrongly came to a finding that charges were not proved and order of dismissal of workmen is bad in law and directed for reinstatement of the workman. He has further argued that no pleading on behalf of the workman has been placed to show that he was not gainfully employed during the period of his dismissal to the date of the award and as such the direction of full back wages was wrongly passed. He has relied upon the judgment of this Court reported in, 2010(2) JCR 516 in the case of management of SAIL relying upon the judgment of the Hon'ble Supreme Court and as such the order passed for full payment is bad in law and fit to be quashed.
(3.) On the other hand, learned Counsel for the respondent- workman has submitted that it will appear that although charges were made against the workman that he allowed the lifting of TISCO material , but the Labour Court after considering the management witnesses as also the document Ext.W came to a finding of fact that management has failed to prove that any misconduct was committed by any of the workmen rather the Labour Court found that Ext.W shows that the workman who was charged of misconduct only obeyed the direction of the superior officer present there who stated that material has been checked by the TISCO officers and on their direction he allowed the material to go out of the company and thus, finding of fact cannot be disturbed in the writ jurisdiction of the court. More so, there are other findings based on the evidences of the parties.;
