Dani for the Petitioner. Mr.S.R. Nargolkar, A.G.P. for the Respondents. CORAM : H.L. GOKHALE & MRS. R.S. DALVI, JJ. DATE : 7TH JULY 2005 P.C. P.C. P.C. : 1. Heard Mr.Dani for the Petitioner. 2. An affidavit in reply has been filed by Mr.J.R. Deshpande, Registrar (Legal), High Court, Bombay. 3. The petition is filed by the Bar Association at Alibaug making a request that the Labour Court at Mahad be shifted to Alibaug. The submission is on the footing that earlier the Labour Court was started at Mahad as common court for Ratnagiri and Raigad District. Now a separate Labour Court has been set up at Ratnagiri and, therefore, the Court at Mahad be shifted to Alibaug which is a district place. In reply, it is pointed out that the talukas of Karjat and Panvel are attached to the Labour Court at Thane. That being so, Alibaug cannot be said to be a central place and Mahad a distant one in any particular way. In any case, the submission of Mr.Dani is that Alibaug being a district place, the Labour Court should be at the district place. The Bar Association may make a representation to the High Court on its Administrative Side. The Registrar General will call the representatives of the Labour Law Practitioners at Mahad also and thereafter take appropriate decision. 4. Petition stands disposed of. (H.L. GOKHALE, J.) (MRS. R.S. DALVI, J.)
