R1 & R2 BY STANDING COUNSEL SRI.RENIL ANTO THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 29/05/2009, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: S.R.Bannurmath, C.J. & Kurian Joseph, J. ------------------------------------------ W.P.(C) No.14281 of 2009 ------------------------------------------ Dated, this the 29th day of May, 2009 JUDGMENT Kurian Joseph, J. This writ petition is filed with the following prayers: “i) issue a writ of mandamus or any other appropriate writ, order or direction, directing the respondents 1 to 3 to take appropriate action to initiate prosecution against the employers who are engaging loading and unloading workers in the Pool No.10 of Aluva town old market, which comes under the respondents 1 and 2; ii) issue a writ of mandamus or any other appropriate writ, order or direction, directing the respondents 1 and 2 to submit a report regarding the steps taken against the employers in Pool No.10 of Aluva town old market including the 4th respondent, for non-compliance of paragraph 7 of Chapter II of the Kerala Headload Workers (Regulation of Employment and Welfare) Scheme, 1983, before this Hon'ble Court.” 2. Though this writ petition is styled as a public interest litigation, we hardly find any material to entertain this petition. The W.P.(C) No.14281 of 2009 - 2 - affected parties are not in the party array. The employees who should be the aggrieved parties seem to have no grievance. The learned Standing Counsel for the Kerala Headload Workers Welfare Board submits that so far the authorities under the Act have not received any complaint from any quarters. 3. In that view of the matter, we dismiss the writ petition without prejudice to the liberty of the petitioner to bring to the notice of the first respondent the violation of the provisions of the Act, if any, with the name and address of the alleged violators, in which case the matter will be looked into by the concerned authority. S.R.Bannurmath, Chief Justice Kurian Joseph, Judge vns
