Petitioners Versus State Bank of Mysore ... Respondents Mr.M.P. Vashi for the Petitioner. Mr.S.K. Talsania, Sr. Counsel with Mr. Sanjeev Kanchan and Mrs. Kusum Poojari for R.No. 1. CORAM: F.I. REBELLO, & CORAM: F.I. REBELLO, & CORAM: F.I. REBELLO, & J.P.DEVADHAR, JJ. J.P.DEVADHAR, JJ. J.P.DEVADHAR, JJ. DATED: NOVEMBER 12, 2008 DATED: NOVEMBER 12, 2008 DATED: NOVEMBER 12, 2008 P.C. P.C. P.C. . The Petitioners have approached this court contending that based on the circular dated 5.5.1995, Respondent No. 1 has regularized services of Respondent Nos. 2 to 10. Though the Petitioners were similarly placed, respondent No. 1 has failed to give benefit of the said circular to them. . A reply has been filed on behalf of Respondent No. 1. In the affidavit in reply field it is sought to be contended that the Petitioners on the relevant date had neither completed 90 days or 240 days as the case may be for the purpose of regularization. Apart from that it is submitted that the petition is hopelessly barred by laches. As the petitioners are approaching this court after 2 13 years and the exercise of regularization was completed immediately after the circular. In these circumstances, it is submitted that this court should not exercise its extra ordinary jurisdiction. . Considering the delay with which the Petitioner has come to this court, in our opinion, this will not be a fit case for this court to exercise its extra ordinary jurisdiction. it is however, made clear that if the Union representing employees of the Bank seeks reference by way of Industrial dispute, that can be considered independently and disposal of this petition will not stand in the way of the Industrial Tribunal in deciding the controversy on its own merits, if reference is made.
