**** HARSIMRAN SINGH SETHI , J. (Oral) 1.

By this common order, both the writ petitions are being disposed of.

2.

In the present petitions, the challenge is to the same impugned award dated 09.05.2000 (Annexure P-4). The challenge on behalf of the petitioner-Sugar Mill is to the direction given by the Tribunal for accepting one of the demand raised by the respondent-worker-union whereas, the workmen-union is challenging the award on the ground that all the claim raised by the respondent/worker-union has not been accepted except one claim i.e. production incentive for the year 1994-95. 4.

None appears for Sugar Mill in CWP No. 376 of 2001.

-25.

On asking of the Court, Mr. Rahul Sharma, appears on behalf of petitioner-Sugar Mill and submits that direction for accepting the claim of the worker-union qua demand No. 4 i.e. the workmen are entitled to the production incentives for the year 1994-95, has wrongly been granted by the Tribunal.

5.

On being asked to point out that what is the perversity in granting the said relief, learned counsel for the petitioner has not been able to point out the facts and evidence which has come on record to show that the benefit so granted by the Tribunal qua the demand of the worker-union qua demand No. 4 is incorrect in any manner.

6.

Similarly, the other demands, which were claimed by the worker union has been rejected by the Tribunal in the impugned award. The similar question was put to the learned counsel for the worker-union, as to how, according to the worker union, the award is bad keeping in view the facts and evidence on record, learned counsel for the worker-union has also not been able to prove any perversity in the findings recorded by the Tribunal keeping in view the facts and evidence on record.
