&
ORDER:
"Heard Mr. C.R.Sridharan, learned Senior Counsel representing the
petitioner and learned Assistant Government Pleader for Labour representing
respondent No.1. |
Issue notice to respondent No.2.
Learned counsel for the petitioner is permitted to take out personal notice
to respondent No.2 by RPAD and file proof of service, within a period of three (3)
weeks.
However, considering the submissions made by the learned Senior
Counsel that the impugned order dated 18.11.2021, is contrary to the judgment of
the Hon'ble Supreme Court reported in (1975) 2 SCC 661 wherein it was held that
when the case of dismissal of an employee is referred for industrial adjudication,
the labour court should first decide as a preliminary issue whether the domestic
enquiry has violated the principles of natural justice as also similar view
expressed in (2018) 18 SCC Pg 21, and perusing the said judgments, prima facie,
this Court is satisfied that a case is made out for granting interim order.
Accordingly, there shall be interim stay of all further proceedings as prayed for.
List this matter after four (4) weeks.
Office is directed to print the name of Government Pleader for Labour on
the side of respondents in the cause-list." 1, a
