vss IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CIVIL APPELLATE JURISDICTION WRIT PETITION NO.5318 OF 2007 WRIT PETITION NO.5318 OF 2007 WRIT PETITION NO.5318 OF 2007 Sangli Miraj Kupwad Cities Municipal Corporation, Sangli & anr. ... Petitioners V/s. Mahapalika Kamgar Sabha, Sangli ... Respondent Mr.N.V. Walawalkar for Petitioner CORAM: SMT.NISHITA SMT.NISHITA SMT.NISHITA MHATRE, J. MHATRE, J. MHATRE, J. DATED: OCTOBER 30, 2007 OCTOBER 30, 2007 OCTOBER 30, 2007 P.C.: P.C.: P.C.: . The petitioners have challenged the order dated 15.1.2007 whereby the respondent union has been permitted to amend its statement of claim. The amendment which the union has sought is to incorporate a pleading to support its contention that the workmen listed in the order of Reference at Demand No.8 should be made permanent. 2. Although Mr.Walawalkar, the learned Counsel appearing for the Petitioners, vehemently argued in support of his contentions, in my view, the amendment application has rightly been permitted by the Industrial Tribunal and there is no need to interfere with the order passed by it. The petitioners have been permitted to file their reply to the amended statement of claim and, therefore, no prejudice would be caused to them, as rightly observed by the Tribunal. 3. Petition rejected.
