IN THE HIGH COURT OF BOMBAY AT GOA WRIT PETITION NO. 556 OF 2006 HERALD PUBLICATION PVT.LTD.REP.BY ....Petitioner ITS EDITOR SHRI ROBIN NACIMENTO ANTHONY ABREU Versus LABOUR COMMISSIONER OF GOA AND 3 ....Respondents ORS., Mr. Valmiki Menezes, Advocate for the Petitioner. Mr. S. R. Rivonkar, Advocate for the Respondents. Coram:- J. N. PATEL & N. A. BRITTO, JJ. Date:- 20th November, 2006 P.C.:- Heard. Notice. Mr. S. R. Rivonkar, learned Advocate waives service for the Respondents. The petition can be disposed of at the stage of admission itself. The only grievance of the petitioner appears to be that the respondent nos.1 and 2 has kept the conciliation proceedings filed in the year 2005 pending without taking final decision in the matter. We find from the record of the petition that there has been no justification in keeping the matter pending unnecessarily as inspite of the matter being discussed on so many occasions there has been no positive decision arrived in resolving the subject matter of the dispute and conciliation proceedings have resulted in failure and therefore the only option left with the respondents is to pass appropriate orders and make a reference. We therefore direct respondent nos.1 and 2 to conclude the conciliation proceedings within a period of two weeks and pass appropriate orders in accordance with law. The petition stands disposed of accordingly. J. N. PATEL, J. N. A. BRITTO, J. RD.
