No.155 of 2001, challenges the order dated 19.01.2004 passed therein by the Industrial Tribunal-cum- Labour Court, Visakhapatnam, dismissing the petitioner’s application and directing it to proceed with the cross-examination of the witness. The said application was filed by the petitioner under Section 11 of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947 not to accept an affidavit as evidence on record and to record the evidence in the open Court. The case is squarely covered by the common Judgment dated 01.10.2004 passed by a learned Judge of this Court in Writ Petition No.1658 of 2004 and Batch. Therein, the learned Judge held that the procedure of receiving an affidavit in lieu of Examination-in-Chief would pave the way for quick disposal of the cases and therefore there was no defect in the said procedure being followed by the Labour Court. In the light of the aforestated Judgment, the issue does not survive for consideration afresh. The Writ Petition is accordingly dismissed. No costs. ____________________ SANJAY KUMAR, J. 4TH FEBRUARY, 2010. VGSR
