    Case Summary: CWP/8862/2018 Court Decision: The Punjab and Haryana High Court set aside the Industrial Tribunal's order dismissing Zila Parishad Muktsar's application to set aside an ex parte award merely on grounds that 30 days had elapsed since publication. The Court held that a Tribunal does not become functus officio after an award becomes enforceable and must adjudicate such applications on merits if sufficient cause for non-appearance is shown, in compliance with natural justice principles. Outcome: The matter was remitted to the Tribunal to decide the application on merits within four months. The Management was also directed to pay Rs. 35,000 as litigation expenses to the workman, acknowledging the decade-long delay in enforcement.
