IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.12205 of 2002 AWADH PRASAD Versus UNION OF INDIA & ORS ----------- For the Petitioner : Mr. Basant Kr. Chaudhary, Sr. Advocate Mr. Shashi S. Kishore, Advocate For the Bank : Mrs. Nilu Agarwal, Advocate Mr. Manoj Kumar, Advocate ----------- 4 21.08.2008 Heard learned counsel for the parties. In the given facts and circumstances and also the order dated 10.09.2003 passed in Civil Review No. 190 of 2002, one basic fact emerges in the present writ application which is recorded by the Court that the petitioner falls in the category of workman, if that is so, the petitioner has a statutory remedy by raising industrial disputes under the Industrial Disputes Act. This is the position certified by the learned counsel appearing for the Bank also. The petitioner is therefore granted liberty to withdraw the present writ application and move before an appropriate forum for raising the industrial disputes under the 2 Industrial Disputes Act. The Court categorically records that no technical objection with regard to the reference will be made on the ground that there is any delay in challenging the order of dismissal which has been passed against the petitioner because the writ application of his has been pending before this Court for consideration. The writ application is disposed of with the above liberty. Rajeev/- (Ajay Kumar Tripathi, J.)
