JUDGMENT : Heard the learned counsel for the parties. It is well settled position of law that the Employment Guarantee Scheme is not an ‘industry’ and a complaint filed by the employee employed in the Employment Guarantee Scheme, under the provisions of M.R.T.U. & P.U.L.P. Act, is not tenable. 2] The Labour Court did not have jurisdiction to direct the petitioner to reinstate the respondent in service with continuity of service and full back wages. The award passed by the Labour Court on 17.11.2001 is therefore, unsustainable and is liable to be set aside. It would be necessary to refer to the judgment reported in 2001(2) Mh.L.J. page 543 in this regard. 3] Though the respondent was not entitled to be reinstated in service, the respondent is entitled to the benefit flowing from the Government Resolution dated 1.12.1995 and all subsequent resolutions issued by the Government from time to time. The petitioners are therefore, directed to take action and consider the case of the respondent in accordance with the Government Resolution dated 1.12.1995 and the subsequent government resolution issued from time to time. The petitioner is further directed to take action within a reasonable time. Tahsildar and Collector, of District Bhandara should forward the representation of the respondent for seeking the benefits of Government Resolution dated 1.12.1995. 4] In the result, the impugned award dated 17.11.2001 is quashed and set aside with no order as to costs.
