Petitioner claims to be the union of employees of Bihar State Sugar Cane Corporation Limited, Lohat unit, Lohat Sugar Factory. This unit is proposed to be sold. While negotiation of sale is being conducted, petitioner alleges that they have been wrongly branded as Seasional Workers and by impugned order they have been relieved of their works. Their apprehension is that if negotiation fructified, they would be deemed not in service and thus would suffer irreparable loss. Whether they are seasonal workers or not and whether the decision of the Management was justified or not, these are the questions, which can - 2 - well be considered and decided by the authority in accordance with the provisions of the Industrial Dispute Act with or without intervention of the State Government. In my view, the writ petition is not the proper remedy. In view of the aforesaid, learned counsel for the petitioner seeks permission to withdraw this application . The application is permitted to be withdrawn. Learned counsel for Sugar Corporation has no objection. singh (Navaniti Prasad Singh,J)
