Heard learned counsel for the appellant and perused the order of the Writ Court. The writ petition of the appellant – petitioner has been dismissed after considering the entire materials and the case of the parties. The Writ Court found no good ground to disregard the finding of the Labour Court that the six workmen had been in employment of the appellant / petitioner for almost 12 years. In that situation, Section 25F of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947 was rightly held applicable. In view of the findings of the Labour Court 2 and the Writ Court, we find no merit in this appeal. It is accordingly dismissed. dk ( Shiva Kirti Singh, ACJ ) ( Dr. Ravi Ranjan, J )
