CWP No. 11953 of 2009 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB & HARYANA, CHANDIGARH CWP No. 11953 of 2009 Date of decision August 10, 2009 M/s JCBL Limited ....... Petitioner Versus State of Punjab and others ........ Respondents CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE K. KANNAN Present:- Mr. Ashwani Talwar, Advocate for the petitioner. **** 1. Whether reporters of local newspapers may be allowed to see the judgment ? 2. To be referred to the reporters or not? 3. Whether the judgment should be reported in the digest? K. Kannan, J (oral). 1. Having regard to the limited prayer made in the writ petition namely permission to appear through counsel and allowing the Managing Director to represent the Management in prosecution lodged under Section 29 of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947, I dispense with notice and the order is being passed at the stage of admission itself. 2. In view of the fact that there has been compromise between the partes, all that was necessary was that the Court's permission to be taken before the withdrawal of the prosecution could be made. In my view, the presence of the Managing Director is unnecessary and the direction by the learned Sub Divisional Judicial Magistrate, Derabassi directing him to appear on 11.8.2009 is not justified. As a matter of fact it is brought to my notice that specific application has been filed for appearance of the parties through counsel. The order dated 22.7.2009 directing the personal appearance of Sh. Rajinder Kumar Aggarwal is set CWP No. 11953 of 2009 2 aside. The proceedings shall be taken up after securing the records from the office of the Labour Commissioner. The Magistrate is requested to dispose of the case as per law. 3. The party shall be permitted to represent through counsel. The Civil writ petition is disposed of accordingly. 4. Copy of the order be given dasti under the signatures of the Reader attached to the Bench. (K. KANNAN) JUDGE August 10 , 2009 archana
