Respondent Mr.Neel Helekar for appellant. Mr.K.S.Bapat i/b. M/s.Desai & Desai Associates for respondent. CORAM: B.H.MARLAPALLE & D.B.BHOSALE,JJ. September 17, 2008 P.C. . Heard the learned counsel for the respective parties. Writ Petition No.2367 of 2006 filed by the appellant challenging the judgment and order dated 8/12/2004 rendered by the Industrial Court at Thane came to be rejected by this Court summarily on 10/4/2006. The learned Member of the Industrial Court was pleased to allow Appeal (IC) No.1 of 2004 filed by the employer and the judgment and order dated 25/10/2002 passed by the Labour Court in favour of the workman came to be reversed. The workman, therefore, approached this Court in Writ Petition No.2367 of 2006 and on its dismissal this LPA has been filed praying for upholding the judgment of the Labour Court. 2 . During the pendency of this LPA, the workman and the employer, with the assistance of their learned Advocates, continued negotiations and they have been successful in arriving at an amicable settlement. The settlement terms have been reduced in writing in the form of "Consent Terms" signed between the parties today. Both the parties are present before us and we treat the Consent Terms as a bilateral settlement within the meaning of the Bombay Industrial Relations Act. The appellant - workman verified that the settlement terms are known to him and he has accepted the same. The Consent Terms are marked as "X" for identification and we accept the same as binding on both the parties. . The employer has agreed to pay a sum of Rs.25,000/- (Rupees twenty five thousand only) to the workman within a period of one week from today towards the full and final settlement of his claims including the claim of reinstatement, continuity of service, full backwages, gratuity, leave salary etc. and upon receipt of the said amount the workman in turn has given a declaration that all his claim would stand fully settled and, therefore, he has applied to withdraw the Letters Patent Appeal. 3 . Mr.Helekar, therefore, prayed for disposal of the LPA on the basis of the Consent Terms. Undoubtedly, the employer will extend all the assistance in clearance of the provident fund dues etc., if any. . Leave granted and the LPA is disposed as withdrawn in view of the settlement between the parties. (D.B.BHOSALE,J.) (B.H.MARLAPALLE,J.)
