THE HON'BLE THE CHIEF JUSTICE SHRI NISAR AHMAD KAKRU and THE HON'BLE SHRI JUSTICE SANJAY KUMAR WRIT APPEAL No. 216 OF 2010 Dated: 19-04-2010 Between: Ship Building Centre Civilian Employees Union, Visakhapatnam, regd. No.D/1829/2008, D.No.58-11-127, Friends Enclave, Old Karasa, Visakhapatnam – 09, rep., by its General Secretary, Sri E. Srinivasa Rao, S/o Late Rama Swamy, aged about 41 years, R/o. Visakhapatnam ... APPELLANT AND The Government of India, Ministry of Defence, South Block, New Delhi – 110 011, rep., by its Secretary and three others ... RESPONDENTS THE HON'BLE THE CHIEF JUSTICE SHRI NISAR AHMAD KAKRU and THE HON'BLE SHRI JUSTICE SANJAY KUMAR WRIT APPEAL No. 216 OF 2010 JUDGMENT: (per the Hon’ble the Chief Justice Shri Nisar Ahmad Kakru) The cause urged by Ship Building Centre Civilian Employees Union, Visakhapatnam is that the respondents have failed to conduct the verification of its membership and seek a declaration that the said inaction is both arbitrary and illegal. Upon consideration of the matter, an interim direction was passed on 18-01-2010 requiring the respondents to display the list of eligible voters for verification of the membership. Another direction was passed on 02-02-2010 preventing the respondents from declaring the result of the election which had to be operative for a period of four weeks. It is the latter direction which has not been extended by the learned single Judge, therefore this writ appeal. It is seen that the learned single Judge did not extend the interim direction because it had already lived its life on the date when the matter for extension of the direction had come up before the writ Court. That being the factual position we find no fault with the order passed by the learned single Judge. One more reason which disentitles the appellant to the interim relief is that election has not been held by the appellant – Union. Apparently, it has no cause to prevent the respondents from declaring the election result of the other unions. Dismissed. The learned counsel for the appellant submits that the disposal of the writ petition be expedited. Nothing prevents him from making a request in that behalf to the learned single Judge.
