( 2 ) A brief reference to the factual background will be necessary: the respondent (hereinafter referred to as "the employee") was a work-charged employee in Irrigation Research Institute, Roorkee. The project was completed on 28/2/1982 and like other similarly work-charged employees his services came to an end. Order in this regard was passed on 25/2/1982. The respondent employee raised a dispute before the Conciliation officer, Saharanpur in 1988 who after examining the claim dismissed it on 25/1/1990 and no reference was made under the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947 (in short "the Act" ). A writ petition was filed by the respondent employee before the Allahabad High Court which was dismissed.

The State Government referred the dispute to the Labour Court which directed reinstatement with 50% back wages. Both the State Government and the employee filed writ petitions. The High Court dismissed
