The applicants are the original petitioners. The petition is, inter alia, filed for directions to the 2nd respondent- M/s.Mahindra & Mahindra Company Ltd. to get itself registered with respondent 1-Security Guards Board under 2 the Maharashtra Private Security Guards (Regulation of Employment and Welfare) Act, 1981 and continue to employ the security guards listed at Exhibit- A to the petition in its establishments. 2. The present civil application is taken out praying that directions be given to respondent 1 to dispose of all the applications for registration filed by the individual Security Guards listed at Exhibit- A to the petition, who are stated to be members of the applicant- union. Reliance is placed on the judgment of Division of this court in Writ Petition No.563 of 2007 and a group of writ petitions. The applicants are more particularly relying on directions 12(ii) and 12(v) given by this court, which read as follows:- “ (ii) All the pending applications for registration as security guards filed by the individuals as well as the applications received by the Board under clause (i) shall be dealt with and disposed of by the Board in accordance with the Regulations and policies framed by the Board within six weeks thereafter. Orders so passed by the Board shall be notified, besides copies thereof being sent to the Union or individual workmen who have filed these petitions. (v) The individual security guards who are then 3 registered by the Board shall be allocated to such concerns /establishments which are desirous of deploying security guards and/or those security guards who are in employment and are then registered shall be granted all the benefits in terms of the Regulations upon the direction of the Board.” 3. We have heard learned counsel for the applicants and learned counsel for the respondents. Learned counsel for the 3 rd respondent states that the said employees have resigned from their service. Learned counsel for the 2nd respondent states that in view of the statement made by learned counsel for respondent 3, the applications so far as the 2 nd respondent is concerned, have become infructuous. We record both these statements. Learned counsel for the applicants disputes this. We are not expressing any opinion on this. 4. In our opinion, in the light of the aforesaid judgment in Writ Petition No.563 of 2007, the directions prayed for by the applicants deserve to be issued. Hence, the following order:- Respondent 1-Security Guards Board shall deal with 4 and dispose of the applications for registration filed by individual Security Guards listed at Exhibit- A to the petition in accordance with the regulations or the scheme framed by the board as directed by this court in Writ Petition No.563 of 2007, within a period of six weeks from the date of receipt of this order by it. 5. The civil application is disposed of in the aforestated terms. (SMT.RANJANA DESAI, J.) (SMT.ROSHAN DALVI, J.)
