Lrs IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CIVIL APPELALTE JURISDICTION WRIT PETITION No.9702 of 2009 Co-operative Bank Employees Union. ..Petitioner. vs. The Deputy Registrar Trade Unions Act, Mumbai. .. Respondent. Mr M.S.Topkar, Advocate for the Petitioner. Mr V.S.Masurkar, Govt.Pleader for the Respondent. CORAM : F.I. REBELLO & K.K.TATED, JJ. DATED : NOVEMBER 27, 2009 P.C. Rule, returnable forthwith. Heard forthwith by consent of parties. The petitioners registration under the Trade Unions Act, 1926, was cancelled by an order dated 24.5.2005 which was received by the petitioners some time in June, 2005. On 12.7.2005 petitioners applied to the Registrar,Trade Unions, pointing out that no show cause notice has been received by them and consequently the order dated 24.5.2005 ought to have been reviewed. That application was dismissed by an order dated 4.2.2006 on the ground that it is beyond the limitation period and consequently appeal was dismissed. The learned counsel for the petitioners draws our attention to Section 11 (3) of the Trade Unions Act under which the powers of the Civil Court are conferred on the authority under the Act. In our opinion, considering that it was open to the authority to consider the issue of limitation and condone the delay, considering for all purposes, it would be a Civil court. That aspect was not considered. In our opinion, considering the controversy, it is not necessary to send the matter to the Appellate Authority. The short question is, as to whether the Registrar of Trade Unions has power of review? It is now well settled law, as laid down in Grindlays Bank Ltd vs. Central Govt. Industrial Tribunal and Ors., reported in (1981) I L.L.J 327, and the Supreme Court has recognized this principle. The procedural review is inherent in every court, tribunal or quasi tribunal and is distinct from the substantive review which has to be specifically conferred. The disposal of the matter without an opportunity of hearing will result in the Tribunal exercising the power of procedural review. Considering that matter proceeds ex-parte without notice of the show cause to the petitioner. There is power in the Tribunal to review that order. In the result, the following order is passed. The order of the Tribunal is set aside. Delay is condoned. However, the matter is remitted back to the learned Labour Court. We set aside the order of the Registrar  Trade Unions and remand the matter to the another Registrar to consider the review application filed by the petitioner on 12.7.2005. Rule made absolute accordingly. No order as to costs. Sd/- Sd/- (K.K.TATED, J.) (F.I. REBELLO,J.)
