Rajasthan High Court Gives Workman Another Chance, Asks Him to Plant 21 Trees Instead of Penalty

The Rajasthan High Court set aside the Labour Court’s order that dismissed the petitioner’s industrial dispute for not adducing evidence on the fixed date.

The Court observed that the petitioner had been careless in handling his case but still decided to give him another chance because of the seriousness of the issue involved. As a condition, the Court directed the petitioner to plant 21 shade trees in a public area within a month and submit quarterly photo reports to the Labour Court.

This eco-friendly direction replaced a monetary penalty, ensuring the public good. The petition was accordingly disposed of.
