Sugar Mill Loktantrik Shramik Sangathan (INTAVC) & Ors. D.B.Civil Special Appeal (Writ) No.84/2002 The State of Rajasthan & Ors. Vs. Sugar Mill Loktantrik Shramik Sangathan (INTAVC) & Ors. Date of Judgment : 10th August, 2010 P R E S E N T Hon'ble the Chief Justice Mr.Jagdish Bhalla Hon'ble Mr.Justice Mohammad Rafiq Mr. S.N. Kumawat for the appellant. Mr. Kamlakar Sharma for the respondents. These two special appeals are directed against common judgment of the learned Single Judge dated 7.12.2001 in S.B. Civil Writ Petition No.2329/2001 filed at the instance of Sugar Mill Loktantrik Shramik Sangathan (INTAVC) (hereinafter referred to as 'the Mill'), through its Secretary. The learned Single Judge, while deciding the writ petition, held that the concerned authorities had not applied their mind nor had given any reasons to continue applying the relief undertaking provisions to the Mill and therefore, quashed the ::2:: SAW(2) 98-02/10.8.2010 notifications so issued with the directions to the appellants herein to take necessary action in accordance with law and if at all the Mill is to be closed even then efforts shall be made to save the Mill and also the livelihood of the workers and further directed that the action shall be taken strictly in accordance with the provisions of the Industrial Disputes Act. It is the common ground of the parties that despite efforts made by the appellants, the Mill could not be run and in any event, it remained closed down during pendency of these appeals, which were filed in the year 2002. However, learned counsel for the parties informed the Court that the State Government has absorbed all the erstwhile employees of the Mill in various public sector/State undertakings etc. and some of them, in course of time after attaining the age of superannuation, have retired from service. In the circumstances, we find no justification for upholding the direction issued by the learned Single Judge to the State Government to make efforts to run the Mill, especially when they have already taken care of the livelihood of its employees by absorbing them in various State/public sector undertakings etc. However, we make it clear that it would be open to any of the workers/erstwhile employees of the Mill or for that matter, the Sugar Mill Loktantrik Shramik Sangathan (INTAVC), appellant-writ petitioner, to raise their grievances, if any, before the appropriate forum as and when necessity arises, with regard thereto. ::3:: SAW(2) 98-02/10.8.2010 The appeals are accordingly dismissed, with the aforesaid observations.
