Writ Petition No.15019 / 2013 (Riyaz Mohammad Khan ..Vs..State of M.P.& otheRs.19-09-2013 Heard Shri Anoop Shrivastava, learned counsel for the petitioner on the question of admission.
The petitioner has filed this petition submitting that the petitioner was initially removed while working as a peon in the establishment of the respondents against which he had approached the Labour Court, Bhopal, who had passed an award in favour of the petitioner on 17-11-2011 directing reinstatement on account of non-compliance of the provisions of Section 25-F of the Industrial Disputes Act.
It is stated that the State had filed a W.P.No.2535/2012 against the award passed by the Collector and the Labour Court, which was dismissed by order dated 15-2-2012 maintaining the order of reinstatement.
It is further submitted that the Collector, Sehore, instead of complying with the order of this Court in letter and spirit, has now issued the impugned order dated 27-7-2013 by which the petitioner has not been reinstated at the place where he was working at the time of disengagement but has issued orders engaging him for a fixed period up till 31-3-2014 for election duty which is contrary to the orders and directions issued by this Court regarding reinstatement.
It is submitted that in such circumstances, the respondent/authorities be directed to strictly comply with the order passed by this Court in the aforesaid W.P.No.2535/2012 in letter and spirit.
Having heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and after perusing the record, it is observed that the petitioner, without approaching the concerned authority for mitigation of his grievance, has directly approached this Court by filing the present petition.
In the circumstances, the petition filed by the petitioner is disposed of with liberty to the petitioner to approach the respondent No.3, Collector, Sehore, by filing a representation for mitigation of his grievance.
It goes without saying that in case the petitioner does so alongwith a copy of the order passed today and a copy of the petition within a week of obtaining the same, the concerned authority shall consider and decide the petitioner's representation in accordance with law as early as possible.
It is made clear that the Collector, Sehore, shall ensure the compliance of the order passed by this Court as well as by the Labour Court, Bhopal, subject to the provisions of the law and subsequent powers conferred upon the authority.
The aforesaid exercise shall be completed by the Collector, Sehore before 31-3-2014.
With the aforesaid directions, the petition filed by the petitioner stands disposed of.
C.C.as per rules.
