(1) WP. 2727.2010 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY BENCH AT AURANGABAD WRIT PETITION NO. 2727 OF 2010 Hind Seva Mandal and others through its Secretary .. Petitioner VERSUS Shri Macchindra Haribhau Munde and others .. Respondents Mr. Balaji B. Yenge, Advocate for the Petitioner ... CORAM : V.R. KINGAONKAR, J. DATED : 14TH JUNE, 2010 ORAL ORDER:- 1] Heard learned counsel. The petitioner is un- aided educational institution. The respondent no.1 was appointed as Peon but was being paid only Rs. 1530/- per month. He filed complaint (ULP) no. 132 of 2004 alleging that the petitioner committed unfair labour practice under item nos. 5,6 and 9 of schedule IV of the M.R.T.U. and P.U.L.P. Act. He also filed interim application under section 30(2) for grant of salary at the rate of Rs.4500/- per month. Interim relief is granted by the Industrial Court. That order is subject of challenge in this Petition. 2] It is pertinent to note that appointment of the respondent no.1 as Peon is not in dispute. The (2) WP. 2727.2010 respondent no.1 could not be paid anything less than the minimum wages. The interim order does not suffer from any arbitrariness, though prima facie it may appear that practically final relief is granted. 3] Under the circumstances the Petition is dismissed, with direction to the Industrial Court to finally dispose of the U.L.P. no. 132 of 2004 within a period of 6 months. The Industrial Court may grant reasonable time to the petitioner to deposit the amount. If 50% amount is deposited in the Industrial Court within 3 weeks, then Contempt Application may be stayed and rest of the amount may be allowed to be deposited within a period of further 3 months.
