CHANDRIKA PRASAD .....Petitioner
Through: None.
Through: Mr. Harvinder Singh, Advocate.
JUDGMENT
1. None appears on behalf of the Petitioner.
2. Learned Counsel for the Respondent submits that he had previously also stated that the Petitioner is not interested in pursuing the matter since the matter has been settled by the Petitioner with the Respondent.
3. The record reflects that the Petition was filed in the year 2022 assailing the Award dated 18.05.2022 passed by the learned Labour Court. The Counter Affidavit was filed, however no Rejoinder is filed.
4. Learned Counsel for the Respondent seeks to rely upon Paragraphs 5 and 6 of his Counter Affidavit in this behalf to submit that the Petitioner had approached the management that they wish to withdraw the present Petitions as he had filed the present Petition without comprehending the Award of the learned Labour Court. Reliance is placed on Paragraphs 5 and 6 of the Counter Affidavit which are extracted below in this behalf: W.P.(C) 16997/2022
5. Learned Counsel for the Respondent further submits that an ex-gratia sum of Rs.10,000/- has already been paid to the Petitioner by the Respondent and a hand written receipt of the Petitioner where he wrote that he would like to withdraw the case, is annexed along with the Counter Affidavit.
6. In any event, in view of what is stated in the Counter Affidavit, it seems that the Petitioner is not interested in pursuing the matter any further.
7. Accordingly, the Petition is dismissed for non-prosecution.
