1.

Heard both the learned Advocates for the respective sides at length.

2.

The petitioner has worked for only 9 months. He was awarded Rs.15,000/- as compensation by the Labour Court vide its judgment dated 31/08/2010 in Complaint (ULP) No.109/2001. The petitioner preferred Revision (ULP) No.40/2010 before the Industrial Court, which was partly allowed by judgment dated 27/07/2015 and the compensation was enhanced to Rs.40,000/-. He prays for further enhancement.

3.

The Hon'ble Apex Court in the following four cases has laid down the law that compensation of Rs.30,000/- per year of service, when an employee has put in a short spell in service, would be khs/OCT.2016/12484-d
