Ram Mohan Reddy, J.

This petition invoking the supervisory jurisdiction under Article 227 of the Constitution of India is filed by the workman calling in question the award dated 02nd April 2013 of the III Additional Labour Court, Bangalore, rejecting I.D. No. 42/2008 and confirming the order dated 21.07.2008 passed by the respondent dismissing the petitioner from service for proved acts of misconduct. The only submission of the learned Counsel for petitioner is that the petitioner was suffering from mental disorder and was under treatment from the year 2001 onwards and in such a circumstance, being provoked, on 14.10.2006, consequent upon an argument with the co-worker in the canteen of the respondent management, a scuffle took place whence he used the kitchen knife and assaulted his fellow workman, nevertheless had no idea of what he was doing. Learned Counsel further submits that extensive treatment for mental disorder at Abhaya hospital led to a certificate stating that petitioner was mentally suitable and there was no more paranoid schizophrenia and therefore, the Tribunal was not justified in being apprehensive of directing reinstatement.
