MS CIS BUREAUS FACILITY SERVICES vs PRESIDING OFFICER, INDUSTRIAL TRIBUNAL CUM LABOUR COURT, SAS NAGAR MOHALI — CWP/14529/2026

SUMMARY: The High Court of Punjab and Haryana dismissed CIS Bureaus Facility Services' writ petition challenging an ex parte labour tribunal award dated January 7, 2025. The court rejected the management's excuses for non-appearance—including pandemic-related tracking issues and office relocation—finding that the company had authorized representation, was properly served, and deliberately chose not to appear. The court upheld the tribunal's award in favor of the workman, finding no ambiguity and holding that the petitioner's grounds for setting aside the award were wholly unmeritorious.
