Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner is a salaried individual with no independent source of income apart from his past employment, and the prolonged pendency of his claim has caused severe financial hardship. The Respondent-Company’s refusal to release his lawful dues and issue the relieving certificate has prevented him from securing fresh employment, thereby infringing his right to livelihood under Article 21 of the Constitution of India. Therefore, he prays that the learned Labour Court, Durg may be directed to expedite the proceedings and decide the matter within a reasonable period of time. 3. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case, and taking into account the submissions made hereinabove, it is observed that the learned Labour Court, Durg, shall make an earnest endeavour to expedite the trial in case No. 41/ID Act/ 2024 (Civil) and conclude the proceedings within a reasonable period of time subject to cooperation of the parties. 4. With the above observations, the writ petition stands disposed of. Sd/- (Sachin Singh Rajput) Judge H.Ansari
