The only prayer made in this writ petition is that the workmen had raised a demand on 28th June, 2004, but the same has not been considered and no reference of the disputes has been made by the Appropriate Government in exercise of its power under Section 10 of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947. Learned counsel appearing for respondent No.7, however, submits that there is no dispute as there is a complete settlement between the workmen and the company. This is -2- not admitted by the counsel for the petitioner who states that the settlement with some of the workmen was subsequent to the Failure Report and as such would not be a bar with reference to the dispute raised in the Memorandum of 28th June, 2004. Learned Government Pleader appearing for the State states that they would consider all these pleas and pass an appropriate order within six weeks from today. In view of this statement, petition is disposed of. No order as to costs. CHIEF JUSTICE DR. D.Y. CHANDRACHUD, J.
