JUDGMENT :

1. Heard learned advocates for the parties.

2. This petition under Article 226 of the Constitution of India is filed against the non granting of benefit of Resolution dated 17.10.1988 to the petitioner.

3. The facts of the case would indicate that the petitioner on being terminated had approached the Labour Court by raising a dispute by way of Ref. (LCS) No. 274 of 1992. By an award dated 11.06.1997, the reference was partly allowed and the petitioner was ordered to be reinstated with 20% backwages.

4. The only ground on which the petitioner seems to be deprived of the Government Resolution dated 17.10.1988 that the award of the Labour Court specifically does not mention 'Continuity of Service'.
