DATED: DATED: DATED: NOVEMBER 10, 2006 P.C: P.C: P.C: The learned Advocate for the petitioner/applicant states that as regards the proceedings before the Labour Court, already the recording of evidence has been concluded and the matter was fixed for arguments on 30-4-2005. However, on account of the order dated 2-8-2002 passed in this petition, the Labour Court has not been able to proceed to dispose of the matter. The pendency of this petition should not come in the way of the Labour Court to dispose of the matter before the said Court. It is submitted on behalf of the respondent that there is a move for settlement of the proceedings. Nothing prevents the respondent from settling the matter before [2] the Labour Court itself. In any case, either for disposal or settlement, the order dated 2-8-2002 passed in this petition needs to be modified and is accordingly hereby modified and it is clarified that the pendency of the petition before this Court shall not come in the way of the Labour Court to dispose of the matter, either by way of settlement or by disposal on merits. The application accordingly stands disposed. (R.M.S. Khandeparkar, J.) sjs/1110ca1579.5 sjs/1110ca1579.5 sjs/1110ca1579.5
