They are aggrieved by the issuing of registration under Rule 26 A of the Headload Workers Rules to respondents 3 to 6 and other 28 members of another union, without consulting the committee formed by the Kerala Headload Workers Welfare Board. According to them, when the employer had changed the place of establishment from one place to another which was what happened in this case, the workers in the former area are not entitled to work in the new area to where the establishment has been shifted. Detailing these grievances, petitioner has filed Ext.P6 complaint before the 1st respondent. Petitioner seeks direction to the 1st respondent to take appropriate steps for resolving the dispute raised in Ext.P6. 2. I have heard the counsel for the petitioner as also the learned Government Pleader and the standing counsel appearing W.P.(C) No. 1786/2008/K -2- for the 2nd respondent. In the facts and circumstances of the case, there would be a direction to the 1st respondent to initiate and complete proceedings under Section 21 of Kerala Headload Workers Act, after affording an opportunity of being heard to all concerned within a period of two months, from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment, if Ext.P6 has been received and is pending. The writ petition is disposed of as above. S.SIRI JAGAN, JUDGE jp
