The service<br \/>\n\tof the petitioner is not terminated by respondent.  Therefore,<br \/>\n\taccording to respondent, petitioner is not prepared to signed muster<br \/>\n\tof daily wager and accordingly he has not worked and salary was not<br \/>\n\tpaid.\n<\/p>\n<p>Learned<br \/>\n\tadvocate Mr. Mehta submitted that whatever contentions raised by<br \/>\n\trespondent in his reply, that has been decided by Division Bench of<br \/>\n\tthis Court in LPA no. 1408\/2003 in SCA no. 8070\/2001 in Civil<br \/>\n\tApplication  no. 10588\/2003 dated 28\/3\/2005, which is at page 66,<br \/>\n\trelevant order of the Division Bench is quoted as under:\n<\/p>\n<p> ?S\tHeard learned Counsel for the parties.\n<\/p>\n<p>\tThe appellant &#8211; Agricultural Produce Market Committee, Bavla, being aggrieved by  the order dated 26.8.2003 passed in Special Civil Application No. 8070 of 2001, rejecting the said Special Civil Application is before this Court, submitting inter alia that  the  order passed  by the learned Single Judge is bad, as it has not taken into consideration  the evidence brought on the record and also tends  to  confirm  the findings which otherwise were perverse.\n<\/p>\n<p>   After taking us through the entire record including the findings of the learned  Labour Court, learned Counsel for the appellant submitted that the workman  was  a  daily wager and therefore, the appellant was justified in discontinuing him.\n<\/p>\n<p>     On being asked that  if  he  was  a  daily wager and\/or  a casual employee, then why the relevant evidence was not produced before the Labour Court at least to show       that not on regular basis, but the salary was being  paid to  him intermittently, learned Counsel for the appellant      submitted that such evidence has not been produced before the Labour Court.\n<\/p>\n<p>  \tAfter going through the complete records, we are unable  to  hold  that  the learned Labour  Court was unjustified in observing that the workman was not a daily wager.   The  learned  Single  Judge  has also recorded reasons for not making interference in the matter.\n<\/p>\n<p>    The endeavour of  the  learned  Counsel  for  the appellant  in fact was to persuade us to take a different view on the strength of the facts which are available  on      the record. In  the opinion of this Court, if there is some evidence available  to  support  the  findings  then simply  because  another  view is possible, the appellate Court shall not interfere in the  matter. We find no reason to interfere.      The appeal is dismissed. Consequently, Civil Application No.  10588 of 2003 stands<br \/>\nrejected.??\n<\/p>\n<p>In<br \/>\n\tlight of the aforesaid decision given by Division Bench of this<br \/>\n\tCourt, the decision of learned Single Judge is confirmed by Division<br \/>\n\tBench of this Court. On being asked by Division Bench that if he was<br \/>\n\tdaily wager and\/or casual employee then why relevant evidence was<br \/>\n\tnot produced before Labour Court by respondent.  Therefore, Division<br \/>\n\tBench of this Court has come to conclusion that Labour Court has<br \/>\n\tperfectly justified in observing that workman was not daily wager<br \/>\n\temployee.\n<\/p>\n<p>In<br \/>\n\tview of the aforesaid back ground, when petitioner was not daily<br \/>\n\twager as observed by Division Bench of this Court and award of<br \/>\n\tLabour Court is confirmed upto L.P.A. then stand taken by respondent<br \/>\n\tis not proper and respondent shall have to implement award<br \/>\n\tinquestion, which has been confirmed upto L.P.A.\n<\/p>\n<p>Therefore,<br \/>\n\tit is directed to respondent to allow to petitioner to mark his<br \/>\n\tpresence in attendance register as regular (permanent) employee and<br \/>\n\tto pay salary w.e.f. 8\/1\/2007 till 31\/3\/2008 within a period of one<br \/>\n\tmonth from the date of receiving copy of this order and also grant<br \/>\n\tpublic holidays with wages and to pay salary each month on the first<br \/>\n\tday or to pay salary along with regular employee without any delay.<br \/>\n\tIt is further directed to respondent to fully implement the award of<br \/>\n\tLabour Court, Ahmedabad dated 16\/9\/2000 in reference no. 343\/1987<br \/>\n\twhich has been confirmed upto Division Bench and whatever benefit is<br \/>\n\tavailable to petitioner as regular employee (permanent) in pursuance<br \/>\n\tto implement of award, same shall have to grant and pay within a<br \/>\n\tperiod of six weeks from the date of receiving copy of this order.\n<\/p>\n<p>Accordingly,<br \/>\n\tpresent petition is disposed of.\n<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t(H.K.RATHOD,<br \/>\nJ)<\/p>\n<p>asma<\/p>\n<p>\t\t   \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\t\t   Top<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gujarat High Court Manubhai vs The on 22 March, 2011 Author: H.K.Rathod,&amp;Nbsp;
