HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE FOR RAJASTHAN BENCH AT JAIPUR S.B. Civil Writ Petition No. 8688/2026 CNR: RJHC020419272026 | URN: CW / 19180U / 2026 Bobadram Son Of Shri Kishan Lal, Village Shahpura Post Gunta, Tehsil Bansur, District-Alwar. ----Petitioner Versus Chief Manager, Jhalana Dungri Depot, Rajasthan State Road Transport Corporation, Jaipur. ----Respondent For Petitioner(s) : Mr. Devendra Singh Kushwaha For Respondent(s) : HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE SAMEER JAIN Judgment 12/08/2026 1. By way of the present writ petition, the petitioner has laid a challenge to the impugned award dated 28.10.2025 passed by the learned Labour Court-I, Jaipur. 2. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the impugned award is devoid of merits and has been passed without appreciating the evidence on record. Reliance in regard of the aforesaid submissions is placed upon the ratio laid down by the Co-ordinate Bench of this Court vide order date 03.10.2023 in S.B. Civil Writ Petition No. 7341/2011 titled Ashraf Kathat v. The Judge, Labour Court, Ajmer & Anr. 3. Having heard the submissions advanced by the learned counsel for the petitioner and upon a perusal of the impugned award, more particularly paragraphs 16, 23, 24, and 25 thereof, (2 of 2) [CW-8688/2026] this Court is of the considered view that there is no perversity or illegality in the award passed by the learned Labour Court. 4. It is observed that the learned Labour Court has categorically recorded that ample opportunities were granted to the petitioner to substantiate his claim; however, neither at the original stage nor at the stage of the personal hearing was any substantial defense raised or argued by the petitioner. 5. Moreover, the learned Labour Court has rightly taken into consideration the past service record of the petitioner, which reveals more than a dozen instances of misconduct, including cases involving ticketless passengers and unauthorized absence, for which the petitioner has been penalized on multiple occasions in the past. 6. Considering the overall facts and circumstances, the award passed by the learned Labour Court against the petitioner is wholly substantiated by the record. 7. The judgment of Ashraf Kathat (supra) relied upon by the learned counsel for the petitioner is distinguishable on its own facts and has no applicability to the present case. 8. Consequently, this Court finds no perversity, illegality, or jurisdictional error in the impugned award dated 28.10.2025 passed by the learned Labour Court-I, Jaipur that would warrant interference of this Court. 9. Accordingly, the present petition stands dismissed. Pending application(s), if any, shall stand disposed of. (SAMEER JAIN),J 26/Prateek
