Gharda Chemicals Ltd. and Ors. ..Respondents .... Mr. Ambar Joshi Adv. for Petitioner Mr. R.D.Oak Adv. for Respondents .... CORAM : SMT.V.K.TAHILRAMANI,J. DATE : AUGUST 25, 2009 P.C.: 1. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner-Union and the learned counsel for the respondent-company. 2. Rule. The learned counsel for the respondent waives service of rule. By consent, rule is made returnable forthwith and petition is take up for 2 wp-5674-09 final hearing forthwith. 3. The petitioner-Union preferred complaint (ULP) No.108 of 2009 before the Industrial Court at Thane that though 21 of their employees were promoted as Junior Officers, they were asked to do the same work as they used to do earlier and hence, they preferred complaint inter alia praying that the Respondent-company be restrained permanently from allowing those 21 Junior Officers promoted on 17.4.2009 to do the work which they were performing prior to their promotion such as Electricians, Lab Assistant, Watchman, Fitter, Operators etc. which is being done by the employees belonging to the unioinised category. In the said complaint, an application for interim relief was made. It is seen that the interim relief prayed in the said application is the same which was prayed in the complaint. The said application for interim relief came to be rejected by the Industrial Court by order dated 7th May, 2009. Being aggrieved thereby, this writ petition has been preferred. 4. During the hearing of this writ petition, the learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that he is not pressing the first relief prayed for in the petition and he is only seeking the second prayer i.e. the complaint which is pending before the Industrial Court Thane, be decided expeditiously. The learned counsel for the respondents has no objection to the said prayer being granted. In view of facts of this case, I am inclined to grant the said prayer. In the result, the following 3 wp-5674-09 directions are passed: Complaint (ULP) No. 108 of 2009 pending before the Industrial Court at Thane, be decided as far as possible by 31st March, 2010. 5. Writ petition is disposed of with above directions. Rule partly made absolute. [ SMT.V.K.TAHILRAMANI,J.]
