- The present petition is filed challenging order dated 30.04.2014 (hereafter ‘ impugned order ’) passed in DID No. 06/09 whereby the learned Labour Court rejected the petitioner’s claim and declined to grant any relief to him.
- Briefly stated, it is the case of the petitioner that he was working with the respondent as a Cutting Master since the year 1986 and his services were illegally terminated by the respondent management on 15.11.2006. Aggrieved by the same, the petitioner approached the learned Labour Court.
Issues for consideration
3 issues framed by the court
Whether writ jurisdiction is warranted to interfere with the labour court's finding regarding lack of territorial jurisdiction and the worker's alleged abandonment of services.
Whether the petitioner proved that his services were illegally terminated in Delhi without an enquiry.
Whether the closed shop argument applied as the petitioner never challenged his transfer to Gurgaon.
