1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE FOR RAJASTHAN AT JODHPUR : O R D E R : S.B. CIVIL WRIT PETITION NO.6148/2007 (Balu Ram Vs. Joint Pr. Coordinator & Ors.) Date of Order :: 24.07.2008 P R E S E N T HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE GOPAL KRISHAN VYAS Mr.D.K. Parihar, for the petitioner. Mr.Ravi Bhansali, for the respondents. In this case, petitioner has prayed for quashing Annexure-4 dated 17th November ,2006 whereby the appropriate government has refused to refer the industrial dispute on the ground that earlier reference was made by the union and High Court has quashed the said reference and now again industrial dispute has been raised, therefore, it is not permissible under the law. Learned counsel for the petitioner has invited attention of this Court towards the judgment of Hon'ble Apex Court reported in 2002 (94) FLR page 624 (Virendra Bhandari and R.S.R.T.C. & Ors.) and submit that if there is no adjudication 2 on merit in earlier reference, then such matter can be referred again under Section 10 of the Industrial Disputes Act. In this view of the matter, case is remitted to the appropriate government for reconsideration in view of the law laid down by the Hon'ble Apex Court. However, respondents Nos.2 and 3 are directed to reconsider the matter for making reference to the industrial dispute while taking into consideration the judgment of Virendra Bhandari's case (supra) rendered by Hon'ble Apex Court within a period of three months from today. Accordingly, this writ petition is disposed of with no order as to costs. (GOPAL KRISHAN VYAS),J. A.K. Chouhan/-s
