1 S.B. CIVIL WRIT PETITION NO. 8293/2007 Shrawan Kumar Vs. State of Raj. & Ors. DATE OF ORDER :: 05.09.2008 HON'BLE MR. GOVIND MATHUR, J. Mr. Jaswant Suthar, for the petitioners. Mrs. Pratistha Dave, for the respondent/s. *** The petitioner is in employment of the respondent- Municipal Board, Takhatgarh since 1995 and he raised industrial dispute for regularisation of his service with Municipal Board. The Conciliation Officer submitted failure report in the matter to the appropriate government, however, the appropriate government refused to refer the disputes on the count that the same does not constitute industrial dispute. It is contended by learned counsel for the petitioner that though at the first instance the dispute was raised by the petitioner in his individual capacity, however, on a subsequent stage the Rajasthan Nagarpalika Karamchari Federation also submitted an application to the appropriate government agitating the cause of the petitioner and the application so submitted is placed on record as Annexure-5. It is true that the dispute raised by the petitioner in his individual capacity does not constitute an industrial dispute as defined under Section 2(K) of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947. However, as the dispute was subsequently supported by the Rajasthan Nagarpalika Karamchari Federation, therefore, just to avoid multiplicity of the proceedings, I 2 consider it appropriate to direct the appropriate government to refer the dispute raised by the petitioner with regard to his regularisation for its adjudication to labour court by making representation of the petitioner through Rajasthan Nagarpalika Karamchari Federation, Takhatgarh, Distt. Pali. The appropriate government is expected to refer the industrial dispute for its adjudication expeditiously as far as possible within a period of three months from the date the petitioner submits a certified copy of this order to the Labour Commissioner, Rajasthan. The writ petition is disposed of accordingly. (GOVIND MATHUR),J. J.Goyal
