VPH IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CIVIL APPELLATE JURISDICTION WRIT Petition No.4668 OF 2008 Bansilal A. Rathod Petitioner Vs. The Divisional Social Respondents Welfare Officer, Pune & Ors. Mr. Milind Deshmukh, for the Petitioner. None for the Respondent. CORAM : Dr. D. Y. CHANDRACHUD, J. DATE : JULY 2, 2008. PC :- . The original complaint of Unfair Labour Practice was instituted in March 1999 and the written statement was filed in July 1999, raising the defence that the respondent is not an industry within the meaning of section 2(J) of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947. Issues were recast in November 2007. It is an admitted position that final arguments were heard. It was thereafter that the application for amendment was filed. The Industrial Court was justified in coming to the conclusion that the application for amendment was belated and was filed only to protract the trial. No case for interference is made out. The Petition is dismissed. Sd/- [ Dr. D. Y. CHANDRACHUD, J.]
