None for Respondents. CORAM : D.K. DESHMUKH AND ANOOP V. MOHTA JJ. DATE : 4TH OCTOBER 2011. 2 LPAL17722/10 P.C. :- 1] The learned Single Judge has rejected the petition because of latches. The petition was filed after five years of the order passed by the Industrial Court, Pune without giving any explanation as to why petition was not filed earlier. The learned counsel appearing for appellants submits that the officers of the appellants have taken steps to seek approval of the Government for creation of the posts. Therefore, in the criminal complaint which is pending before the Industrial Court, the Industrial Court should not proceed further because the appellants are taking steps to comply with the impugned order. If according to the appellants, they are taking steps to comply with the order, it is for the appellants to point out that fact to the Industrial Court in criminal complaint which is pending. If the appellants are genuinely making efforts to comply with the order, obviously the Industrial Court will give due regard to that aspect of the matter. For 3 LPAL17722/10 that reason, the appeal cannot be entertained. It is disposed off. Parties to act on the copy of this order duly authenticated by the Sheristedar / Private Secretary of this Court. Certified copy expedited. ( JUSTICE D.K. DESHMUKH ) ( JUSTICE ANOOP V. MOHTA )
