Therefore, this Court has to consider and decide this<br \/>\npetition only on the basis of the said material.\n<\/p>\n<p>4.\tUpon<br \/>\nperusal of the Award, it transpires that the father of the petitioner<br \/>\ni.e. deceased employee was terminated by the respondent &#8211; Corporation<br \/>\nwith effect from 14.9.1996. Before terminating the petitioner&#8217;s<br \/>\nfather from service, the respondent Corporation had issued a<br \/>\ncharge-sheet and pursuant to the said charge-sheet, departmental<br \/>\ninquiry was conducted and upon conclusion of the departmental<br \/>\ninquiry, the petitioner&#8217;s father was terminated.\n<\/p>\n<p>5.\tAgainst<br \/>\nthe said termination in September, 1996, the order of Reference was<br \/>\nmade on 21.4.1998 i.e. after period of about 2 years. The said order<br \/>\nof Reference culminated into Reference (LCG) No.154 of 1998. In<br \/>\nresponse to the statement of claim filed by the employee, the<br \/>\nrespondent Corporation filed its written statement and contested the<br \/>\nReference proceedings. After hearing the parties, the Labour Court<br \/>\ncame to the conclusion that the employee failed to establish that the<br \/>\ninquiry against him was conducted improperly and in violation of<br \/>\nprinciples of natural justice.  The Labour Court has also held that<br \/>\nthe inquiry conducted against the employee was legal and proper.<br \/>\nUltimately, after considering the material available on record and<br \/>\nafter hearing the parties, the Labour Court rejected the Reference.<br \/>\nAggrieved by the said Award, son of the employee is before this<br \/>\nCourt.\n<\/p>\n<p>6.\tMr.\n<\/p>\n<p>P.M. Lakhani, learned advocate appears for the petitioner. He<br \/>\nsubmitted that the Labour Court has shifted the burden of proof on<br \/>\nthe employee and has failed to appreciate the case of the petitioner<br \/>\nas made out in the statement of claim and has erred in law in holding<br \/>\nthat the departmental inquiry was not illegal but was legal and<br \/>\nproper. He submitted that in view of the error committed by the<br \/>\nLabour Court, petition deserves to be allowed.\n<\/p>\n<p>7.\tAs<br \/>\nmentioned hereinabove, the Reference regarding the dispute raised by<br \/>\nrespondent was made after lapse of almost 2 years from the date of<br \/>\nhis alleged termination, which wold go to show that for almost two<br \/>\nyears after his alleged termination, the said employee was passive<br \/>\nand did not raise any dispute and now this petition is preferred<br \/>\nafter almost 4 years since the Award came to be passed in March,<br \/>\n2004. The petition, for this reason alone, does not deserve to be<br \/>\nentertained. It is pertinent to note that the Reference was made in<br \/>\nApril, 1998 and the concerned employee died in May, 2000 i.e. within<br \/>\nperiod of 2 years after the reference, the employee died and then the<br \/>\npetitioner was impleaded as party to the Reference proceedings and<br \/>\nyet he has approached this Court against the Award after lapse of<br \/>\nalmost 4 years.\n<\/p>\n<p>8.\tThe<br \/>\nLabour Court has recorded the findings of  fact that inquiry was<br \/>\nlegal and proper. The Labour Court has also recorded finding of the<br \/>\nfact that the employee was in habit in committing similar misconduct<br \/>\nin past also. Besides the said findings  the Labour Court has after<br \/>\nconsidering the material available on record of the Reference, also<br \/>\ncome to the conclusion that the charge levelled against the<br \/>\npetitioner was proved and that the petitioner had failed to establish<br \/>\nthat finding or conclusion regarding misconduct, are incorrect and\/or<br \/>\nhe did not commit the misconduct of which the charge was levelled<br \/>\nagainst him.\n<\/p>\n<p>9.\tThus,<br \/>\nafter examining the material on record and upon hearing the parties,<br \/>\nthe Labour Court has come to the conclusion that the<br \/>\nemployee\/petitioner failed to establish that the action of the<br \/>\nrespondent &#8211; Corporation was illegal and unjustified. The Labour<br \/>\nCourt did not find any reason to interfere with the order passed<br \/>\npassed by the Corporation and\/or to exercise discretion under Section<br \/>\n11-A of the Industrial Disputes Act.\n<\/p>\n<p>10.\tOn<br \/>\nperusal of the impugned Award and upon hearing Mr. Lakhani, learned<br \/>\nadvocate for the petitioner, this Court does not find any strong or<br \/>\nconvincing reason to interfere with the finding of the fact recorded<br \/>\nby the Labour Court and\/or to hold that the Labour Court has<br \/>\ncommitted any error of jurisdiction or law. It is not possible to<br \/>\nhold, upon examining the discussion in the impugned Award that<br \/>\nfinding recorded by the Labour Court are contrary to the evidence on<br \/>\nrecord or perverse. Hence, no ground for interfering with the Award<br \/>\nis made out. The petition therefore, fails and the same is<br \/>\naccordingly rejected. The petitioner to bear his costs.\n<\/p>\n<p>(K.M.THAKER,<br \/>\nJ.)<\/p>\n<p>ynvyas<\/p>\n<p>\t\t   \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\t\t   Top<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gujarat High Court Bhavesh vs Gujarat on 13 August, 2008 Author: K.M.Thaker,&amp;Nbsp; Gujarat High Court Case Information System Print SCA\/10373\/2008 6\/ 6 ORDER IN THE HIGH COURT OF GUJARAT AT AHMEDABAD SPECIAL CIVIL APPLICATION No. 10373 of 2008 ========================================================= BHAVESH BHAILAL SONI &#8211; Petitioner(s) Versus GUJARAT STATE TRANSPORT CORPORATION (S.T.
