4. Consistency in various judgments passed by different
Hon'ble Benches of this Court is not coming forth on the common
legal point involved in these cases rather conflicting views are
being taken. Even some of the observations in Larger Bench's
decision in Laiq Ram's case supra, have been expressed
differently by the Hon'ble Apex Court in Prabhakar's case supra.
Raghubir Singh vs Gen.Manager,Haryana Roadways,Hissar on 3 September, 2014
3. From the perusal of above judgments, it is evident
that the judgments rendered by different Hon'ble benches of this
Court have not been taking a consistent view regarding power of
appropriate Government under Section 10(1) of the Industrial
Disputes Act in respect of reference of disputes/claims raised by
the workmen for adjudication to the Labour Court-cum-Industrial
Tribunal. In some of the judgments, the appropriate Government
has been held to be vested with power to decline referring the
matter for adjudication to the Labour Court/Industrial Tribunal on
grounds of delay, stale claims, faded/eclipsed/dead disputes etc.
whereas in the others the view taken is that delay and laches
cannot be a ground for refusing to make a reference and that it is
the Labour Court which can refuse the relief, mould the relief or
refuse to grant backwages on ground of delay. Hon'ble Apex
Court though has settled the legal position after considering the
law and the precedents right from 1953 to 2014 (10) SCC 301 ,
titled as Raghubir Singh versus General Manager, Haryana
Roadways, Hissar, in (2015) 15 SCC 1 , titled Prabhakar
versus Joint Director Sericulture Department and another
and has culled out following principles:-
The Industrial Disputes Act, 1947

2. A legal question needs firm answering before the
individual factual matrix involved in these writ petitions can be
separately examined. To explain the law point involved, for
convenience, we lift bare minimum facts from the lead case CWP
No. 2190/2020, Jai Singh versus State of Himachal Pradesh and
others. The petitioner had worked with H.P. Public Works
Department from 1988 to 1993. His services were allegedly
illegally terminated in 1993. Twenty six years later he raised an
industrial dispute vide demand notice received by the
respondents on 24.6.2019. The Labour Commissioner/appropriate
Government after relying upon some decisions of this Court
refused to refer the matter for adjudication to the Labour Court
on grounds of delay. Reference of dispute by the appropriate
Government to the Labour Court-cum-Industrial Tribunal is
governed by provisions of Section 10 of the Industrial Disputes
Act, 1947. Section 10(1) being relevant is extracted hereinafter:
