Reported in: (1993)ILLJ523Guj

G.T. Nanavati, J.1. Mahamadkha Gajikha Baloch was employed by the present petitioner-Panchasara Jain Derasar as a part-time watchman with salary of Rs. 120/- per month. According to him his services were terminated on November 9, 1986 in an illegal manner. He, therefore, raised an industrial dispute, which subsequently came to be referred to the Labour Court at Kalol. The Labour Court held that the petitioner-Jain Temple is an 'industry' and as the workman's services were terminated without following the provisions of law, the termination was illegal. It, therefore, passed an award directing the temple to reinstate the workman with 50% backwages. 2. Aggrieved by the said award the Jain Derasar has filed this petition.
