Ms. S.S.Bhende AGP for respondent No.1. CORAM : SMT. RANJANA DESAI & A.A. SAYED, JJ. DATED : September 29, 2009. P.C.:- 1. The grievance of the petitioner- Kamgar Union is that respondent No.1 i.e. the Deputy Commissioner of Labour has failed to discharge his duties laid down under the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947 by not admitting the matter in Conciliation as it relates to lock-out. He also erred in not referring the dispute raised by the petitioner Union to the dvg 2 Industrial Tribunal, Pune for adjudication. 2. We have heard the learned Counsel for the parties. 3. Admittedly, the Company has lifted the lock-out. Therefore, there is change in the circumstances. In that view of the matter, it is not possible for us to entertain this petition. The petitioner will however, be at liberty to raise substantive demands in respect of the lock-out and lock-out wages before the Conciliation Officer. Needless to say that if such demands are raised before the Conciliation Officer, he shall deal with the same in accordance with law. 4. We keep the contentions of all the parties open. 5. Petition is disposed of in the afore stated terms. [SMT. RANJANA DESAI, J.] [A.A. SAYED, J.]
