We have heard the learned counsel for the parties. 2. This petition has been filed by two associations, one of which is a registered 2 wp997.10 association of wholesalers, Small and Semi- wholesalers of grains and groceries and other consumer products. 3. According to the petitioners, a wage rise has been granted to the Mathadi workers by the Ex- Officio Chairman of the Board under the Maharashtra Mathadi Hamal and other Manual Workers Regulation of Employment and Welfare Act, 1969. It is contended that although the wage rise has been granted, the board has not ensured that other provisions of the Act and the Scheme framed thereunder have been implemented. 4. Several vague allegations have been made in this petition. In our opinion, it is not possible to go into the issue as to whether, in fact, the Act and the Scheme have been implemented in both, letter and spirit, in the light of the pleadings in the writ petition. 3 wp997.10 5. In case the petitioners are aggrieved by the manner in which the Mathadi Board is functioning, they can make a representation to the State Government under Section 23 of the Act and the State Govt. can enquire into the working of the board and pass appropriate orders to ensure that the board functions in accordance with the Act and the scheme. 6. Petition is dismissed, accordingly. Consequently, all Civil Applications also stand disposed of. (M. T. JOSHI, J.) (SMT. NISHITA MHATRE, J.) pnd/wp997.10
