1 S.B.CIVIL WRIT PETITION NO.4517/2007 Ram Shobhit Vs. State of Raj. & Anr. Date of Order :: 8.5.2008 HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE GOVIND MATHUR Mr. S.K. Joshi, for the petitioner. ... By this petition for writ a challenge is given to the order dated 18.12.2006 made by the appropriate government refusing to make reference by exercising powers as per the provisions of sub-section(4) of Section 12 of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947. The noticeable facts of the case are that at the first instance the petitioner raised an industrial dispute somewhere in the year 1991 and the appropriate government by its order dated 20.2.1992 refused to make reference. Being aggrieved by the same petitioner preferred a writ petition bearing SBCivil Writ Petition No.4959/2004 before this Court and that also came to be rejected on 9.11.2004. After rejection of the writ petition referred above the petition again submitted an application for initiating conciliation for the same dispute. The appropriate government by the order impugned denied to make reference on the count that on the same dispute a decision was taken earlier and that stood affirmed by the High Court in SBCivil Writ Petition No.4959/2004. 2 The present petition for writ is preferred with the contention that the delay in raising dispute as a matter of fact was not at all there in view of the fact that the petitioner came to know about the refusal to make reference only in the year 2002. It is also stated that the appropriate government should have reviewed its earlier decision looking to the facts averred in the subsequent application. I do not find any merit in the argument advanced. The appropriate government refused to make reference on 20.2.1992 and that was subject matter of the writ petition that came to be decided by this Court on 9.11.2004. For the same cause the petitioner approached the appropriate government again. The appropriate government on basis of the decision of this Court denied for making reference. No error exists in the order passed by the appropriate government. The writ petition is accordingly dismissed. (GOVIND MATHUR), J. Jgoyal
