THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE VILAS V. AFZULPURKAR WRIT PETITION No. 20622 of 2011 O R D E R: This writ petition is filed by the Labour Union complaining that minimum wages payable to the labourers are not being paid by the management i.e. respondent No.8. Respondent No.8 has engaged the services of respondent No.7 as sub-contractor. While issuing notice before admission on 19.08.2011 and by a further order on 30.08.2011, the claim amount of the petitioner of a sum of Rs.10,00,000/- was directed to be deposited by respondent No.8 before the Joint/Deputy Commissioner of Labour, East Godavari, Kakinada. The said interim order has since been complied with as recorded by this Court on 19.10.2011. Learned counsel for the petitioner now produces a copy of the notice in Rc.No.A/2661/11, dated 13.07.2011, wherein the Deputy Commissioner of Labour, East Godavari, Kakinada has given a notice on the complaint of the petitioner with respect to non-payment of due wages to the labourers. The said enquiry is said to be pending. Since the competent authority is now seized of the enquiry with regard to the petitioner’s complaint, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the writ petition by directing respondent No.2 to consider the reply of respondent No.8 and the complaint of the petitioner, and pass appropriate orders in the said enquiry proceedings, expeditiously, within two (2) months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of. The amount deposited by respondent No.8 in pursuance of the orders of this Court referred to above shall abide by the result of the final orders of the Deputy Commissioner of Labour. There shall be no order as to costs. _______________________ VILAS V. AFZULPURKAR, J Dt:16.11.2011 kdl
