Counsel for the Petitioner:MR.D.L.PANDU Counsel for the Respondent Nos.1 to 3: GP FOR HOME Counsel for the Respondent Nos.4 to 8: _______ Counsel for the Respondent No.9: GP FOR LABOUR The Court at the stage of admission made the following ORDER: Petitioner claims to be a welfare society of Lorry loading and unloading workers at Sri Rampur of Adilabad district. It claims to be having 170 members on its rolls. It is alleged that by virtue of various agreements entered into by the petitioner on the one hand and the owners of the trucks on the other, the members of the petitioner alone are entitled to be engaged for loading and unloading of coal, and despite the same, respondents 4 to 9 are engaging outsiders for this purpose. The petitioner claims to have made a representation to respondents 1 and 2 complaining high-handed action of respondents 4 to 9 against the members of the petitioner union. It is alleged that no action has been taken by respondents 1 and 2 so far. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned Government Pleader for Home. Basically, even if the contention of the petitioner is to be taken as true, it is a dispute under the Trade Union Act or the Industrial Dispute Act or the one of civil nature. The police hardly have any role to play in deciding the nature of rights of the petitioner and other parties, except where the complaint is about any threat to law and order. This Court cannot direct respondents 1 and 2 to take any specific or particular action in this matter. However, once the petitioner had submitted a complaint narrating its grievance, the same needs to be attended to and the petitioner is entitled to be informed of the action taken thereon. If respondents 1 and 2 find that it is not possible for them to take any action, even such an information has to be given to the petitioner. Hence, the writ petition is disposed of directing respondents 1 and 2 to pass appropriate orders on the representations said to have been made by the petitioner. To avoid further complications, it is directed that the petitioner shall be entitled to enclose a copy of the representation along with the copy of this order. No order as to costs. ------------------------ 22.12.2004 Note: Issue CC in three days.
