DATE : MARCH 24, 2009 DATE : MARCH 24, 2009 DATE : MARCH 24, 2009 P.C. P.C. P.C. 1. Heard the learned counsel for the Petitioners and the learned counsel for the Respondents. 2. The Petitioners had preferred this petition seeking writ of mandamus that the strike proposed by the Respondent No.1 be declared illegal and they be restrained from going on strike. The workers of Respondent no.1 were to go on strike on 22.8.2007. Admittedly, the workers of Respondent No.1 did not [-2-] resort to strike on 22.8.2007. For the reliefs sought for in this petition, the Petitioners could have approached the Labour Court/Industrial Court, however, they have preferred to file the present petition. However, looking to the fact that the strike was in relation to the Pension Scheme, hence, this Court had taken cognizance of this matter. In view of affidavit dated 20.2.2009 filed by Mohan Pandharkame, Deputy Secretary to Govt. of Maharashtra, Industries, Energy and Labour Department, Mantralaya, Mumbai-400032, it is seen that Cabinet Sub-committee for Energy Department under the Chairmanship of the Honourable Chief Minister has taken a decision regarding grant of pension to the employees of erstwhile MSEB and subsequent electricity companies. In view of the affidavit, we see no reason to interfere in the present petition. Writ Petition is dismissed.
