NO. 644 OF 2005 B -------------------------------------- Dated this the 18th January, 2008 JUDGMENT Petitioner challenges Ext.P5. It is an order passed by the Conciliation Officer under Section 21 of the Headload Workers Act. Under Sub-section (6) of Section 21, an Appeal lies. In view of the fact that alternate remedy is available, I need not go into the contentions raised. This Court has taken the view that Writ Petition is not maintainable. In such circumstances, petitioner is relegated to the remedy of filing an Appeal within three weeks from today. The interim order will continue for a period of two months from today. Thereafter, it is for the petitioner to move the authority for interim relief. The Writ Petition is disposed of as above. K. M. JOSEPH, JUDGE kbk.
