Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest? -.- K. KANNAN J.(ORAL) 1. The writ petition challenges the decision of the Government refusing to make reference for industrial adjudication before the Labour Court under Section 10 of the Industrial Disputes Act. The reference was sought on the objection of the workman for according sanction to the management to close down the factory. I am informed that the factory remained closed all these years and the petitioners cannot have any relief at this length of time. No purpose will be served by directing the Government to consider the issue of reference when there is no employment available and when the factory C.W.P. No.6316 of 1989 -2- remains closed for nearly two decades. 2. There is no representation for the petitioners and the case is of the year 1989. Nothing survives for consideration in the writ petition and it is accordingly dismissed. (K. KANNAN) JUDGE December 08, 2009 Pankaj*
