Sanjay Kant Vs. State

Court: Delhi

Decided on: Sep-11-2002

Reported in: 101(2002)DLT54

Mahmood Ali Khan, J.1. The petitioner has filed this application for grant of bail under Section 439 of the IPC. The prosecution case is that the petitioner was working as an accountant of the complainant. During the course of his official duties he misappropriated and embezzled the money of his employer by forging documents. He in all embezzled more than Rs. 5,40,000/-. The argument of the counsel for the petitioner is that the petitioner is in judicial custody since February, 2002 and that the challan has not been filed, CFSL report is still not received and so the charges have not been framed. It is contended that the trial of the case will take long and no useful purpose will be served by keeping the petitioner in jail. The judgment of the Supreme Court in Ashok Dhingra v. NCT of Delhi, : (2000)9SCC533 has been cited which was a case of cheating of a foreign national of a sum exceeding Rs. 65 lakhs and the Supreme Court prima facie did not find circumstances entitling the accused t...

The appellant is stated to have engaged a new counsel thereafter who applied for certified copy and filed the appeal after certified copy was received.

Rajender Prasad Vs. P.O., Industrial Tribunal No. 1 and anr.

Court: Delhi

Decided on: Sep-11-2002

Reported in: 102(2003)DLT306; (2003)ILLJ625Del; 2003(1)SLJ97(Delhi)

ORDERMadan B. Lokur, J.1. The petitioner has challenged the impugned Award dated 5th December, 1996, limited to the question of payment of 50% of the back wages.2. The learned Labour Court has awarded 50% of the back wages only on the ground that the petitioner was employed as Mali from 21st February, 1989 to 29th March, 1989 and if he had made an effort, he could have got an alternative job.3. This does not seem to be a cogent reason for not granting full back wages. The mere fact that the petitioner worked for one and a half months, does not mean that he will always be able to get a job. The fact that he could work for only one and a half months possibly shows that he could not get any further employment.4. Since no other reason has been given by the learned Labour Court, the impugned Award is set aside to this extent. The petitioner would be entitled to full back wages from the date of the demand notice, that is, 24th April, 1989 till the date of reinstatement.Nothing further surviv...

Suresh Kumar Vs. P.O., Labour Court No. Iii and anr.

Court: Delhi

Decided on: Sep-11-2002

Reported in: 103(2003)DLT233; [2002(95)FLR1214]; (2003)ILLJ624Del; 2003(3)SLJ393(Delhi)

ORDERMadan B. Lokur, J.1. The only question raised in this case is whether the learned Labour Court was right in granting only 40% of the back wages from the date of the demand notice, that is, 9th August, 1998.2. The only reason given by the learned Labour Court for not giving full back wages is that the petitioner had not stated that he was unemployed since the date of his termination nor has he given the details of the efforts made by him to secure an alternative employment. Learned Counsel for the petitioner has drawn my attention to the examination-in-chief of the petitioner in which it has been specifically stated as under:'I am unemployed since the date of my termination.'3. No suggestion to the contrary was made by the petitioner in his cross-examination. Quite clearly, the learned Labour Court has proceeded on a factually incorrect basis.4. There was reason for the petitioner to state what steps he had taken to obtain alternate employment. The fact is that he did not have alte...

Jaipal Sharma and anr. Vs. the P.O., Labour Court No. Viii and anr.

Court: Delhi

Decided on: Sep-11-2002

Reported in: 2003(66)DRJ217; [2002(95)FLR1204]; 2003(1)SLJ75(Delhi)

Madan B. Lokur, J.1. The petitioners have challenged the Award dated 10th May, 1999 passed by the learned Labour Court in I.D. No. 171/1988.2. The challenge is to the denial of 100% back wages. The learned Labour Court has granted 50% of the back wages by merely stating that 'ends of justice' will be served if the petitioners are granted 50% of the back wages.3. From the impugned Award, there is nothing to indicate how the 'ends of justice' will be served if full back wages are not given and only a part of the back wages is given. The petitioners worked for as long as four years with the respondent and their termination was held to be unjustified.4. In view of the fact that there is no discussion on this aspect and no reason has been given by the learned Labour Court, there is no option but to allow the writ petition and direct that the petitioners be paid full back wages from the date of the demand notice, that is, 10th February, 1988 till the date of reinstatement. Fifty percent of b...
