Judgment

Arijit Pasayat, J.—Appellant calls in question legality of the judgment rendered by a Division Bench of the Orissa High Court setting aside the award of Labour Court, Bhubaneswar dated 29.10.1997 passed in I.D. Case No. 90 of 1994 which directed the appellant-Corporation to reinstate the present appellant with full back wages.

2. Factual background in a nutshell is as under :-

The case of the appellant was that he was appointed as Junior Typist on N.M.R. basis by the respondent with effect from 12.7.1982. He continued in the said post for more than one year. All of a sudden another order was issued appointing him for 44 days with effect from 1.10.1983. On its expiry on 15.11.1983 another appointment order was issued on 5.12.1983 for a fixed period giving effect from 16.11.1983. Thereafter, he was allowed to continue for about 8 months. Later he was appointed on ad hoc basis in the usual scale of pay of Rs. 255-5-285-EB-7-306-12-390/- with effect from 23.7.1985. Thereafter without any rhyme or reason, he was again kept in N.M.R. on payment of Rs. 10/- per day for a period of 90 days from 1.12.1985 to 28.2.1986. Thereafter he was allowed to continue from 29.6.1986 to 25.9.1986
