1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY ORDINARY ORIGINAL CIVIL JURISDICTION WRIT PETITION NO.1915/2009 Pravin N.Khanolkar & Ors. Petitioners Vs. Purushottam Bachare & Ors. Respondents Mr.M.Verma for petitioners Mr.A.V.Bukhari i/b Kishore Shetty for Res.1 to 8 CORAM : SMT. RANJANA DESAI & MRS. MRIDULA BHATKAR, JJ. DATED : 8th December, 2009. P.C.:- . The applications filed by the petitioners for interim stay against the respondents have been rejected by the Industrial Court. The main issue in the application ICTU No.4/2009 and 5/2009 appears to be that respondents 1 to 8 cannot function as office bearers of Bombay Electric Workers Union . Relevant provisions of The Trade Union Act ,1928 are cited in favour of this contention.. The main applications are pending for final hearing before the 2 Industrial Tribunal. If the prayers made by the petitioners are granted that would amount to finally disposing of the pending applications. Therefore, those prayers cannot be granted at this stage by this Court. Evidence may have to be adduced in the Industrial Tribunal. The Industrial Tribunal must dispose of the main applications expeditiously . We expect it to do so. Needless to say that all actions taken by respondents 1 to 8 will be subject to the final order that may be passed by the Industrial Tribunal in the pending applications. The petition is disposed of in the aforesaid terms. [SMT. RANJANA DESAI, J.] [MRS.. MRIDULA BHATKAR, J.]
