Reported in: (2004)IIILLJ311Mad

V.S. Sirpurkar, J.1. We do not think that we can entertain this writ appeal at all. The appeal is against the interim order passed by the learned single Judge whereby the learned Judge has directed the payment of 17-B allowance under the Industrial Disputes Act since the Labour Court award directs the reinstatement of the concerned workman.2. Sri Hariparanthaman learned counsel for the respondent-workman relying upon the decision of the Supreme Court in C.M. Saraiah v. Executive Engineer, Panchayat Raj Department and Anr. : (2000)ILLJ23SC says that there would be no question of interfering with the Section 17-B allowance in view of this pronouncement of the Supreme Court. The learned single Judge has passed a well-reasoned order. We would choose to confirm that order. The learned Judge has also taken into consideration the law laid down by the Supreme Court in Dena Bank v. Kirtikumar T. Patel : (1999)2SCC106 and has therefore, directed the payment of allowance under Section 17-B. In th...

ORDERK. Govindarajan, J.1.

Second Additional Labour Court 1995 (1) L.L.N. 1022, has held that the finding recorded by the Labour Court in the preliminary issue as to whether the domestic enquiry has been fair or proper or the Labour Court has jurisdiction to entertain the dispute or whether the person claiming the status as a workman is a workman or not, should not be interfered unless such findings are recorded without notice to any one of the parties or recorded without any reason, as it is open to workman or management to question the same after the final award is passed.2.

Reported in: (2003)3MLJ782

R. Jayasimha Babu, J.1. Act 31 of 1978 was struck down by this Court as unconstitutional on 09.09.1981. That decision was reversed by the Supreme Court on 22.11.1994 in the case of State of Tamil Nadu v. Ananthi Ammal, reported in : AIR1995SC2114 . While upholding the validity of the Act, the Court held that the provisions of Section 2 of the Special Act will have no application in cases where awards have been made under the Land Acquisition Act. That judgment has been understood uniformly as enabling the State to regard the acquisition as having been completed under the Land Acquisition Act only in cases where awards were passed under that Act for acquisition of lands for the purposes covered by the Special Act provided the award had been passed before 22.11.1994. 2. Any proceeding for acquisition for the purpose set out in the special enactment will have to be under that Special enactment only and not under the Land Acquisition Act.3. In the case on hand, the State issued a notificat...
