Singhvi, J.<\/p>\n<p>1. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and perused the order passed by the Commissioner, Workmen&#8217;s Compensation Act, II is admitted fact that order for ex pane proceedings was passed by the Commissioner, Workmen Compensation, on February 13, 1992 and, therefore, final award was passed on November 2, 1993. Application for setting aside the order for ex parte proceedings as well as the award was filed some time in November, 1993.\n<\/p>\n<p>2. Learned Commissioner has held that no sufficient cause has been shown for setting aside order of ex parte proceedings, and, there was no ground to condone the delay in filing of the application qua the order dated February 13, 1992.\n<\/p>\n<p>3. Learned counsel for the petitioner has produced before me a typed copy of the application filed before the Commissioner. Workmen&#8217;s Compensation, Karnal. A perusal of that application shows that no case whatsoever has been shown by the petitioner for setting aside of order for ex parte proceedings. Moreover that application was not even supported by an affidavit disclosing reasons as to why the concerned officer could not make application within the period of limitation for setting aside of ex parte proceedings <\/p>\n<p>4. In my considered view the impugned order passed by the Commissioner, under the Workmen&#8217;s Compensation Act does not suffer from any legal infirmity so as to warrant interference by this Court. This revision petition is without any substance and is dismissed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Punjab-Haryana High Court Executive Engineer vs Memo Devi (Smt.) on 2 February, 1995 Equivalent citations: I (1996) ACC 419, (1997) IIILLJ 678 P H, (1995) 111 PLR 563 Author: G Singhvi Bench: G Singhvi JUDGMENT G.S.
