1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY ORDINARY ORIGINAL CIVIL JURISDICTION WRIT PETITION NO.2451/2008 Mumbai Labour Union Petitioner Vs. Parsi Diary Farm and Anr. Respondents Mrs.Neeta P.Karnik for petitioner Mr.V.P.Vaidya for respondents CORAM: S.J.VAZIFDAR,J. DATE : 12th January,2009. P.C. 1] By the impugned order the Industrial Court has restrained the petitioner from issuing circulars, affixing flags, banners, posters ''in and around'' their premises. The petition is directed to remove the flags,banners and posters hoisted by it at the premises of the complainant. 2] It is clarified that the issuance of the circular ,affixing flags,banners, posters shall be subject to the same area and distance restrictions stipulated in the order dated 15th November,2006 .Thus, placing of posters,flag,etc will not be permissible on the petitioner's board outside. It is further clarified that issuance /circulation of the circular is not prohibited. The circulation of the circular shall also be subject to the area and distance restrictions contained in the order 2 dated 15th November, 2006. The rest of the impugned order shall remain unaffected. 3] I noticed,however, that the order dated 15th November,2006 is passed without going into the merits of the matter due to paucity of time .Surely,however,the application ought by now to have been heard as more than two years have been passed. Having passed the order without considering the merits of the rival contention it would be unfair to the petitioner not to hear the application itself. For this reason the Industrial Court is requested to dispose of the interim application atleast finally as expeditiously as possible preferably on or before 6th March,2009. 4] The petition is disposed of accordingly.
