WP/9350/2010 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CIVIL APPELLATE JURISDICTION WRIT PETITION NO.9350 OF 2010 Sunrise Cold Storage, Pune ... Petitioner V/s. Bambai Mazdoor Union, Dadar, Mumbai ... Respondent Mr. K.S. Bapat for the Petitioner. None for the Respondent. CORAM : SMT. NISHITA MHATRE, J. DATE : 12 TH JANUARY, 2011. P.C. : 1. The Writ Petition has been filed against the order dated 31st August, 2010 passed by the Industrial Tribunal, Pune in Reference (IT) No.6 of 2004 directing the petitioner to produce the audited Balance Sheets and Profit and Loss Accounts for the year ending 31st March, 2005 to 31st March, 2010. 2. It is submitted on behalf of the petitioner that the matter was to be argued after the evidence was closed at which stage these documents were sought. In my opinion, no error has been committed by the learned Judge in directing production of the documents as it is well settled that while deciding a wage reference, the Court not only considers the burden which would be cast on the Company if the reference is allowed but also the profitability of the Company when it actually decides the Reference. Thus, the financial position on the date that the Award is to be passed is relevant as the demand may have been made many years earlier. 3. The Writ Petition is dismissed.
