JUDGMENT 1. :- The petitioner-Rajasthan Lalit Kala Academy has assailed the award of the Labour Court, Jaipur dated 26.4.97 which has been pleased to order for reinstatement of the respondent-workman maintaining continuity of his service alongwith 25% of the back wages. It was contended on their behalf by Shri Garg that the compliance of Section 25-F of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947 (for short "the ID Act") having been made, no infirmity could be found with termination of service of respondent-workman, but having heard the counsel for the respondent-workman as also on perusal of the impugned award, it is clear that the respondent-workman initially had succeeded before the Labour Court in challenging his termination, but before the workman could enjoy the fruits of the award, the petitioner-Management dispensed with his services by offering the amount of compensation merely to get over the award which was passed against the Management. 2. Under the circumstances, if the Labour Court has found the notice under Section 25-F of the ID Act and offer of compensation as illegal and un-warranted, it is difficult to interfere with it. The writ petition thus has no merit and hence it stands dismissed at the admission stage itself.Petition dismissed *******
