1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CIVIL APPELLATE JURISDICTION WRIT PETITION NO.9555 OF 2009 Aditi Educational Society and anr. ..Petitioners. Vs. Shri.Vithal R. Shinde and ors. ..Respondents Mr.N.P.Deshpande for the Petitioners. CORAM :R.S.MOHITE, J. DATE : 18TH NOVEMBER,2009 PC: 1 This petition impugns an order dated 9.10.2009 passed by the Industrial Court, Satara refusing to treat some of the issues raised as preliminary issues. One of the issue raised was limitation and the other was employer and employee relationship. In my view, the Industrial Court has correctly recorded that deciding the issues as preliminary issues may prolong the trial. One must keep in mind the possibility of disputes relating to preliminary issue being carried to the 2 superior courts. In my view, therefore, it is fit and proper that the entire evidence should be led at one stage and not piecemeal. It is not necessary to use the discretion under Article 227 in this case and hence, petition is summarily rejected. (R.S.MOHITE, J.)
