45wp813.10.odt 1 . IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY NAGPUR BENCH, NAGPUR Writ Petition No.813 of 2010 (Ambika Majoor Sahakari Sanstha Maryadit and Ors. vs. State and Ors.) Office Notes, Office Memoranda of Coram, appearances, Court's orders or directions and Registrar's orders. Court's or Judge's orders Coram: D. D. Sinha and F. M. Reis, JJ. Date : 04/05/2010. Heard Mr. A.M.Ghare, Adv. for petitioners, Mrs.T.D.Khade, Assistant Government Pleader for respondent no.1 and Mr.M.V.Mohokar, Adv. for respondent nos. 2 and 3. The basic grievance of the petitioners in the present petition is that the petitioners being the Labour Co-operative Societies, their claims for grant of work estimated upto Rs.15,00,000/- without inviting tender were kept in abeyance for no valid justification. It is contended that the stand taken by the respondents that, till the enquiry, on the basis of complaint received in respect of certain Labour Co-operative Societies is conducted and decision is taken, claims of other Labour Co-operative Societies including the petitioners/Societies cannot be considered. Counsel for petitioners has, therefore, contended that this action of the respondents is not sustainable in law and is without authority of law. Mr.M.V.Mohokar, Adv. for respondent nos. 2 and 3 has submitted that the General Body meeting of Zilla Parishad was held on 23.3.2010 in which Resolution No.25 is passed and as per the 45wp813.10.odt 2 . said resolution, the registered Labour Co-operative Society will be allotted work according to law and procedure applicable in this regard except to those against whom complaints are registered. In other words, the claim of petitioners as well as other Labour Co- operative Societies would be considered in accordance with law and procedure applicable in this regard and it will not be delayed on account of enquiry being pending, if any in respect of other Labour Co-operative Societies. In the backdrop of the above referred facts, it is clear that the claim of the petitioners would be considered by the respondent/Zilla Parishad in accordance with law and consideration shall not be deferred on account of enquiry being pending in respect of some Labour Co-operative Societies. In the circumstances, the grievance of petitioners on this issue, at this stage, stands redressed. Hence, the petition is disposed of accordingly. JUDGE JUDGE jais
