                             O.P.No.32501  of  2002

                       -----------------------------------------

                 Dated this the 14th   day of  February, 2007


                                    JUDGMENT

The challenge is on Ext.P4 award passed by the Industrial

Tribunal, Idukki at the instance of the workman. He is aggrieved since

there is denial of backwages. It is seen that the award was under

challenge at the instance of the management in O.P.No.18418/2002.

The said writ petition was dismissed by judgment dated 22-5-2006

holding that exercise of jurisdiction vested on the Tribunal under

Section 11-A in the circumstances was only proper and that the award

on merits was otherwise just and reasonable. In that view of the matter

and also taking note of the present plight of the estates I do not think

that the claim for backwages by the workman should be directed to be

reconsidered. The writ petition is hence dismissed.
