The petitioners/State have challenged the award passed by the learned Labour Court, Korba (C.G) Case No. 21/I.D.Act/ 2013/ Reference dated 25.06.2015 whereby the order of termination of services was set aside and respondent was reinstated in service without payment of back wages. Digitally signed by RAMESH KUMAR VATTI Date: 2025.08.14 19:57:36 +0530 2 2. Mr. Rajkumar Gupta, Additional Advocate General appearing for the State/petitioners would fairly submit that services of respondent have been regularized vide order dated 05.03.2024. He would contend that the award passed by the learned Labour Court has already been complied with. 3. On the other hand, Mr. Lav Sharma, learned counsel appearing for respondent would submit that the sole respondent has died on 29.03.2024 and her services have already been regularized prior to her death i.e. on 05.03.2024, 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 25.06.2015, services of the respondent have been regularized vide order dated 05.03.2024; therefore, 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 vatti
