Mr. V.S. Gokhale i/b Mr. V.N. Shingnapurkar for the Petitioners. Mr. Suresh S. Pakale for the Respondent. .... CORAM: DR. D.Y. CHANDRACHUD, J. 29th September, 2008. P.C. : 1. The Labour Court by its order dated 29th September, 2007 allowed the interim application filed by the Respondent in a complaint of unfair labour practices and passed the following interim order : “1. The Interim application of the complainant at exhibit U-2 is allowed. 2. The respondent is hereby directed to reinstate the complainant temporarily on his original post within one month.” 2. The Industrial Court dismissed the revision application filed by the Petitioners on 15th February, 2008. In an affidavit filed 2 on behalf of the Petitioners by Col. Sunilchandra on 12th September, 2008 it has been stated that the Petitioners are ready and willing to reinstate the workman in accordance with the order of the Labour Court subject to the outcome of the proceedings before the Labour Court. The relevant averment in the affidavit reads as follows : “I state that we are ready and willing to reinstate the complainant / Respondent temporarily as per the order passed by the Labour Court and Industrial Court during the pendency of the complaint (ULP No.30/2007).” 3. On 22nd September, 2008 a Learned Single Judge of this Court recorded the statements of the learned counsel appearing on behalf of the contesting parties in the following terms : “The respondent is present in Court. Mr. Pakale, on instructions from him, states that the respondent is ready and willing to report for duty from tomorrow. Mr. Gokhale for the petitioners submits that the petitioners will permit the respondent to resume duty from tomorrow. This is without prejudice to the rights and contentions of both parties to the writ petition.” 4. Since the Petitioners in their affidavit dated 12th September, 2008 have stated that they are ready and willing to 3 reinstate the Respondent workman temporarily (as per the order passed by the Labour Court and the Industrial Court during the pendency of the complaint), nothing further needs to be done in these proceedings, save and except to take the aforesaid assurance on the record. The Petition is accordingly disposed of. *****
