Hon’ble Shri Justice Rakesh Mohan Pandey Judgment On Board 08-04-2025 1) The petitioner/State has challenged the award passed by the learned Labour Court, Rajnandgaon (C.G.) in Case No. 109/I.D.Act/2009/Reference dated 25.01.2012 whereby the order of termination of services was set aside and respondent No.1 was reinstated in service without payment of back wages. 2) Learned State counsel would fairly submit that respondent No. 1 was reinstated in service in the month of August, 2012. It is also stated that in the year 2012, age of respondent No. 1 was 45 years and at present, her age Digitally signed by AJINKYA PANSARE Date: 2025.04.08 17:53:44 +0530 2 would be approximately 58 years. He would contend that the award passed by the learned Labour Court has already been complied with. 3) On the other hand, learned counsel appearing for respondent No. 1 would submit that as the services of respondent No. 1 has already been reinstated, therefore, nothing survives for adjudication. 4) Heard the learned counsel appearing for the parties and perused the records. 5) Taking into consideration the fact that pursuant to the award passed by the learned Labour Court dated 25.01.2012, respondent No.1 has already been reinstated in service in the month of August, 2012 and only 4-5 years are left for her retirement, I do not find any good ground to interfere with the findings recorded by the learned Labour Court. Consequently, this petition fails and is hereby dismissed. No order as to cost(s). Sd/- (Rakesh Mohan Pandey) JUDGE Ajinkya
