WP/5913/2010 : 1 : IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CIVIL APPELLATE JURISDICTION WRIT PETITION NO.5913 OF 2010 Sarva Shramik Sangh, Thane .. Petitioner V/s. Raptakos Brett & Co. Ltd., Mumbai .. Respondent Mr. Bhavesh Parmar i/b. Smt. Sandhya A. Mailagir for the Petitioner. Mr. P.N. Anaokar for the Respondent. CORAM : SMT. NISHITA MHATRE, J. DATED : 10 TH AUGUST, 2010. P.C.: 1. The Writ Petition has been filed against an order passed by the Industrial Tribunal, Thane on 3rd July, 2010, dismissing the application for interim relief being Reference (IT) No.27 of 2010. The Reference is still pending before the Industrial Tribunal, Mumbai. The dispute has been referred for adjudication for extension of the status and benefits of permanency and all other consequential benefits to the workers listed in the Schedule by the first Respondent-Company. WP/5913/2010 : 2 : 2. It appears that some of the workers have been charge sheeted by one M/s. Sainath Caterors on the basis that it is the employer of these workers. The Petitioner therefore sought interim relief from the Industrial Tribunal to the effect that M/s. Sainath Caterors should not be permitted to conduct an enquiry. 3. In my opinion, such an application would not be maintainable at all in the present Reference. It is well settled that interim relief can be granted only in furtherance of the final hearing which is to be granted to a party. In the present case the Reference is in respect of permanency. The issue as to whether M/s. Sainath Caterors could have at all charge sheeted these workmen on the basis that it is their employer is not in question in the Reference. Therefore, the Industrial Tribunal has rightly dismissed the application for interim relief for the reason that M/s. Sainath Caterors was not a party to the Reference. WP/5913/2010 : 3 : 4. In my opinion, the order dated 3rd July, 2010 passed by the Industrial Tribunal, Thane in Reference (IT) No.27 of 2010, need not be disturbed. However, in the event the Petitioner seeks to redress its grievance mentioned in the aforesaid application before any Court of Law, Authority or Forum, the observations made by the Industrial Tribunal, Thane in its order dated 3rd July, 2010 will not adversely affect the Petitioner or the workers. 5. The Writ Petition is rejected.
