ORDER1. This appeal is by the appellant, respondent No. 3 in CWJC No. 824 of 2000 (R). Respondent No. 3 was dismissed from service for gross misconduct. He challenged that under the Industrial Disputes Act and the order of dismissal was upheld. He filed a writ petition in the Patna High Court challenging that award. The writ petition was dismissed.

Decided on: Aug-11-2004

Reported in: [2004(4)JCR99(Jhr)]

Vikramaditya Prasad, J.1. The substantial question of law framed for answer in this case are as follows :--'I. Whether the suit filed by the plaintiff-respondent was maintainable?'II. Whether the lower appellate Court could have ignored the date of birth recorded in the service book of the plaintiff at the time of his entry into service specially in view of the provisions of the certified standing orders applicable to the appellants' undertaking?2. At the time of hearing, it is fairly admitted by both the parties that the framed substantial question of law No. 1 is not required to be answered because it was never an issue before either of the Court i.e. trial and appellate Courts.3. The facts out of which the question has arisen are shortly that the plaintiff, who had applied for the post of Beldar and who, at the time of his application, had studied upto Class VI, had declared his age to be 24 years, but no document in support thereof was produced by him.
