IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CIVIL APPELLATE JURISIDICTION Writ Petition No. 3825 of 2007 Shivaji Limbaji Jadhav ..Petitioner vs. Pandharpur Urban Coop.Bank Ltd. ..Respondent Shri P.R.Arjunwadkar for petitioner. CORAM: S.C.DHARMADHIKARI CORAM: S.C.DHARMADHIKARI CORAM: S.C.DHARMADHIKARI J. J. J. 18th July, 2007 July, 2007 July, 2007 P.C. P.C. P.C. 1. Heard Shri Arjunwadkar, learned Advocate appearing for the petitioner. 2. The petitioner approached the Labour Court after a delay of 3 years, 8 months and 16 days invoking its jurisdiction under the Maharashtra Recognition of Trade Union and Prevention of Unfair Labour Practice Act, 1971 alleging unfair labour practice on the part of the respondent employer. 3. Admittedly, the petitioner was dismissed from service on 30th January, 1995. He was told by the employer on 15th April, 1995 that it would not be possible for the employer to reinstate him in service. 4. Subsequently, any correspondence/representation with the employer has rightly found to be of no assistence in condoning the delay. Additionally, the reason put forward was found to be vague and lacking in material particulars. In these circumstances, the finding of the Revisional Court that no sufficient cause was made out for condoning the delay in approaching the Labour Court cannot be said to be vitiated by any error apparent or can be termed as perverse so as to call for interference under Article 227 of the Constitution of India. The petition is dismissed. (S.C.DHARMADHIKARI J.) (S.C.DHARMADHIKARI J.) (S.C.DHARMADHIKARI J.)
