Counsel for the State is present. 2 The prayer of the petitioners in this writ application reads as follows: “This is a petition praying for issuance of a writ or direction, in the nature of writ of certiorari, quashing the order dated 30.9.1997, issued by respondent no.5, whereby the services of the petitioners have been terminated w.e.f. 1.10.1997 and further for issuance of a writ, in the nature of writ of mandamus, commanding the respondents to absorb the petitioners against the regular vacant posts against which the petitioners have been working for about 7-9 years with satisfactory record of service and for which they have also been recommended by the Establishment Committee for being absorbed in accordance with the guidelines and principles issued by the State Government as there is a regular need of the services of the petitioners.” From the reading of the records and especially the order of termination, as contained in Annexures 1 series, it would be clear that in view of the earlier order of this Court in C.W.J.C.No. 11793/1996 the respondents had terminated the services of the petitioners after complying the 3 provisions of section 25F of the Industrial Disputes Act. The issue raised as to whether such termination was in full compliance of the provisions of section 25F of the Industrial Disputes Act or there was any breach thereof cannot be gone into in a writ application, inasmuch as the Industrial Disputes Act itself is a self contained code and has adequate safeguards to redress the grievance of a workman subjected to termination/ retrenchment of service in terms of section 25 of the Act. That being so, this writ application is dismissed on the ground of its being not maintainable with an observation that it is always open for the petitioners to seek their remedy under the Industrial Disputes Act.
