1 Bsb IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CIVIL APPELLATE JURISDICTION WRIT PETITION NO. 5835 OF 1999 Mahatma Gandhi Memorial Hospital & anr. ... Petitioners v/s Dr.(Mrs.) Veena Mattu ... Respondent Mr.H.V.Mehta with Mr.T.R.Yadav for the petitioners. None present for the respondent. CORAM: SMT.NISHITA MHATRE, J. DATED: 15TH JUNE, 2010 ORAL JUDGMENT: 1. The petition has been filed challenging the order dated 13.5.1997 passed in Complaint (ULP) No.373 of 1995. By this order, the Labour Court had held that the petitioners had committed unfair labour practices under Items1(a), (b), (d) and (f) of Schedule IV of the Maharashtra Recognition of Trade Unions & Prevention of Unfair Labour Practices Act, 1971. The Labour Court further directed the petitioners to reinstate the respondent with continuity of service and full back wages w.e.f. 3.8.1995. 2 2. While admitting the petition on 21.10.1999, this Court had noted that the petitioners had reinstated the respondent and had also paid back wages in accordance with the impugned order. According to Mr.Mehta, the petition was admitted only because the petitioners had taken exception to the finding of the Labour Court that the respondent was a workman. 3. An additional affidavit has been filed by the petitioners placing on record certain events which occurred after the petition was admitted. The petitioners reinstated the respondent and paid her back wages of Rs.42,641/- for the period from August, 1995 to January, 1996. It appears that the petitioners granted the respondent leave for 45 days’ from 16.6.2001 to 30.7.2001 on the application made by her on 27.7.2001 for a period of two years. The respondent then sought extension of the leave which the petitioners refused on 23.8.2001. It appears that the respondent has resigned from service by letter dated 22.10.2003. The resignation has been accepted by the petitioners on 23.2.2004 and the respondent has been informed of the same. 4. In my view, therefore, nothing remains to be decided in the writ petition. 5. Writ petition stands dismissed as infructuous. ..... 3
