Reported in: ILR1999KAR393; 1999(2)KarLJ394

ORDER1. By the impugned endorsement at Annexure-D the petitioner has been informed that her case has not been considered in the selection list since there was no Kannada at the graduation stage.2. In paragraph 2 of the statement of objections, the respondents have sought to justify the impugned endorsement.3. The stand taken by the respondents is untenable.

ORDER1. The award passed by the Labour Court rejecting the reference made by the Government under Section 10(1)(c) of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947 pertaining to the termination of the petitioner, is questioned in this writ petition.2.

That decision pertains to regularisation of services after completion of 240 days work. The Labour Court instead of adjudicating the points referred and the points incidental thereto, proceeded to examine the matter as if petitioner has sought for regularisation of his services. The Labour Court has not at all adverted to the points referred to it. Regularisation was not the point in dispute nor incidental to it.
