1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CIVIL APPELLATE JURISDICTION WRIT PETITION NO.6991 OF 2008 Municipal Karmachari Kamgar Sena Kalyan Dombivili Municipal Corporation Through President Mr. Harishchandra @ Bal Gouru Hardas ..Petitioner. Vs. Nandakishore Govind Sane and others ..Respondents. .... Mr. Amol B. Desai or the Petitioner. Mr. Yogendra Pendse for Respondents 1 to 10. Mr. Y.R. Mishra with Mr. A.S. Rao for Respondents 11 and 12. .... CORAM: DR. D.Y. CHANDRACHUD, J. 14th October, 2008. P.C. : The Petitioner had sought to intervene in a complaint of unfair labour practices filed by Respondent Nos.1 to 10 before the Industrial Court at Thane. The complaint filed by Respondent Nos.1 to 10 was for implementation of a settlement dated 3rd January, 1996. The Industrial Court dismissed the application filed by the Petitioner for being impleaded as a party to the complaint. Admittedly the Petitioner has sought a reference to adjudication on substantive wage demands. In the reference 2 which has been made at the behest of the Petitioner it would be for the Industrial Court to adjudicate thereon in the light of the evidence which may be produced by the parties. The complaint which has been instituted by the ten individual workmen against the Municipal Corporation cannot obviously affect the pendency of the reference or preclude the Industrial Court from adjudicating upon the issues which arise in the reference. In view of this clarification, Counsel appearing for the Petitioner does not seek any further orders in the Writ Petition. The Petition is accordingly disposed of. *****
