PETITIONERS AND The Managing Director, M/s. Praga Tools Ltd., Kawadiguda, Secunderabad. .....RESPONDENT Petition under Article 226 of the constitution of India praying that in the circumstances stated in the Affidavit filed herein the High Court may be pleased to issue a writ order or direction more particularly one in the nature of writ of mandamus declaring the action of the respondent in not regularising the services of the petitioners and also by not granting benefits such as regularisation and back wages and consequently to direct the respondent to regularise the services of the petitioners in the post of casual labour (non-technical) w.e.f. 1-1-2004 from the date of regularisation of their juniors and pay all back wages and attendant benefits as drawn by their juniors. Counsel for the Petitioners: MR.B.PARAMESEWARA RAO Counsel for the Respondent: MS.G.SUDHA The Court made the following: ORDER: The petitioners are claiming that they have been working as Casual Labour since 1981. Though their juniors’ services were regularised, their services were not regularised. Hence, they filed the present writ petition. Further, it is stated that after filing the writ petition, the respondent- Company is not allowing the petitioners even to attend the work as Casual Labour. Therefore, they sought for appropriate direction. It is the further grievance of the petitioners that while discontinuing their services, the respondent did not follow the provisions of Industrial Disputes Act, 1947. All these claims of the petitioners require factual adjudication and therefore it is appropriate for the petitioners to approach the Labour Court. In fact, when the petitioners sought to rely upon the order of this Court in respect of some other similarly placed persons whom the petitioners claim to be their juniors, the petitioners therein approached the Labour Court by raising an industrial dispute and thereafter only they approached this Court. Under the above circumstances, the writ petition is disposed of directing the petitioners to approach the Labour Court seeking appropriate relief. No costs. _________________ 21.06.2005 VGB To 1.
