P.C.: P.C.: P.C.: 1. Heard Mr. Purvant the learned counsel for the petitioner - Union. On or about 28/8/2006 the petitioner claims to have approached the Joint Registrar at Pune purportedly by filing application under Section 7-A of the Trade Unions Act, 1926 and prayed that the respondent - Trade Union be not granted registration. It appears on 5/9/2006 the petitioner - Union submitted an application to the office of the Additional Labour Commissioner at Pune seeking the information regarding the Trade Union :2: registration and by letter dated 5/9/2006 the Deputy Registrar, Sharamik Sangh, Pune from the office of the Additional Labour Commissioner, Pune informed the petitioner-Union that Mahamanav Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar Trade Union, Solapur was registered with Registration No.P.N. 3760 dated 24/8/2006. It is thus clear that before the petitioner submitted an application under Section 7-A of the Trade Unions Act on or about 28/8/2006, the respondent - Union was already registered and, therefore, the only remedy available to the petitioner - Union is under Section 10 to apply for cancellation of the registration and if the said application is decided, the aggrieved party has a remedy of an appeal under Section 11 of the said Act. The prayer made in this petition cannot be considered in a writ petition when a specific statutory remedy under Sections 10 and 11 of the Trade Unions Act, 1926 is available to the petitioner. 2. Hence the petition is rejected summarily. :3: (B.H. Marlapalle,J.) (B.H. Marlapalle,J.) (B.H. Marlapalle,J.)
