CAW/1001/2010 : 1 : IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CIVIL APPELLATE JURISDICTION CIVIL APPLICATION NO.1001 OF 2010 IN WRIT PETITION NO.4297 OF 2009 Sushil Namdeo Dolkar .. Applicant V/s. Raptakos Brett & Co. Ltd., Raigad .. Respondents Mr. S.S. Pathak for the Applicant. Mr. P.N. Anaokar for the Respondents. CORAM : SMT. NISHITA MHATRE, J. DATED : 17 TH AUGUST, 2010. P.C.: 1. The Civil Application has been filed for a direction to the Respondent-Company to pay wages under Section 17B of the Industrial Disputes Act @ Rs.5,000/- per month, which was the last drawn wage of the Applicant. 2. The Civil Application has been opposed by the Respondent-Company by filing an affidavit of Shri. Ravindra Shankar Gharat, the Senior Manager- Personnel & Administration of the Respondent- Company. The affiant has averred that the Applicant-workman is employed as a “daily wages worker” on a farm and is earning Rs.3,000/- per month. CAW/1001/2010 : 2 : 3. The learned Advocate for the Respondent-Company has sought to rely on the evidence of the Applicant-workman led before the Labour Court, Mahad, in Reference (IDA) No.11 of 2004, in which the Applicant-workman has admitted that he was working as a farm labourer. Assuming that is so, the question before me is whether after the Award was passed, the Applicant-workman is employed in any establishment after the Writ Petition was admitted. 4. No particulars at all have been given by the Respondent-employer as to where the Applicant- workman is working i.e. on which farm he is employed. 5. In my opinion, the Civil Application must be allowed. Accordingly, the Civil Application is made absolute in terms of prayer clause (a). 6. The Civil Application is disposed of accordingly.
