AWARD

The Government of Odisha in the Labour and E.S.I. Department in exercise of powers

conferred upon it by sub-section (5) of Section 12 read with Clause (d) of sub-section (1) of

Section 10 of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947 (14 of 1947) have referred the following dispute for

adjudication by this Court vide their Memo No. 5334/LESI, dated the 19th July 2024.

“Whether the action of the management of M/s Rajhans, At Mangalabag,

P.O. Buxibazar, P.S. Mangalabag, Dist. Cuttack, in terminating the services and refusing

retrenchment compensation theretoof Shri Mohit Kumar Swain, Ex-Salesman

At/P.O. Balia, P.S. Mahakalapada, Dist. Kendrapara w.e.f. the 2nd April 2019 is legal

and/or justified ? If not, what relief the workman is entitled to ?”

2. On close scrutiny of the case record, it is found that after receipt of the above dispute

from the appropriate Govt., notice was issued to the second party for filing of statement of claim

through post vide this Office Letter No.1795, dated the 10th December 2024. But, the second party

neither appeared nor filed his statement of claim. It is further found that the copy of the above

reference was also issued to the second party by the Govt. in Labour & E.S.I Department vide their

Memo No. 5336, dated the 19th July 2024 with a direction to file complete statement of claim with

relevant documents, list of documents and witnesses before this Court within 15 days of the

receipt of the order of reference. It is also revealed from the case record that on the 3rd September

2024 this Court has received the above reference from the appropriate Govt. and meanwhile more

than five months have already been passed, but the second party has neither appeared nor filed

his statement of claim despite notice of this Court. So, it can be presumed that the second party is

not interested to proceed with this case.

Thus, in absence of pleading from the side of the workman and evidence on record, it is not

possible to answer the reference in any manner. Considering the above facts and circumstances,
