This petition under Article 226 of The Constitution of India has been filed by the petitioner, praying for issuance of a writ of mandamus for quashing and setting aside the impugned orders dated 11/03/1994, 19/03/1994 and 25/03/1994 terminating the services as Watchman or changing the nature of work and reducing daily wanges of the employees shown at Exh.A to the petition. The petitioner appears is a Union who is espoused of a cause, whose names are disclosed at Exh.A to the petition. 2. First and foremost, the petitioner ought to have approach the Labour or Industrial Court which have necessary jurisdiction in respect of the reliefs which the petitioner has sought for in this petition. Perusal of the affidavit in reply of the respondents at para no.6 discloses that the employees who were daily rated employees, whose cause is espoused by the petitioner, had filed complaints before the Member, Industrial Court, Aurangabad which stands transferred to the Industrial Court at Jalna. In the light of the fact that the employees whose cause is espoused by the petitioner union 3 in this petition, have already approached the competent forum, we decline to interfere in this writ petition. Accordingly this petition which sans merit is therefore dismissed with no order as to costs. Rule stands discharged. (A.V.POTDAR, J.) (P.V.HARDAS, J.) khs/JULY 2009/wp1220-94
