1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY NAGPUR BENCH, NAGPUR Civil Application No. 2780 of 2008 in Writ Petition No. 1574 of 2007( Decided) Ramsundar Lokmath Tiwari ..vs.. Manager, SGS(India) Ltd. __________________________________________________________________________________ Office Notes, Office Memoranda of Coram, appearances, Court's orders or directions and Registrar's orders. Court's or Judge's orders Mr. S. S. Ghate, Advocate for applicant-respondent No.1. Mr. S. A. Kalbande, Advocate non applicant-petitioner. CORAM : R. V. MORE, J. DATED : 08/04/2008. 1. Heard Mr. Ghate, learned counsel for the applicant-respondent no.1 and Mr. Kalbande, learned counsel for non applicant-petitioner. 2. This application is filed by respondent No.1 for extension of six months period to dispose of the Reference I. D. A. No.49 of 2000. 3. The learned counsel for the applicant- respondent no.1 submits that by the order dated 7th December, 2007, the Labour Court was directed to dispose of aforesaid IDA No. 49/2000 within three months and the said period is expiring today and therefore, extension needs to be granted. 4. The learned counsel for the non applicant- petitioner strongly opposed the application and submits that sufficient time was given to the Presiding Officer. He further submitted that learned 2 Presiding Officer of the Labour Court has, so far, not applied to this Court for extension of time and therefore, no reason to grant extension at the instance of respondent No.1. 5. In the aforesaid backdrop, I am of the opinion that by order dated 7th December, 2007, the Presiding Officer of the Labour Court was directed to dispose of the Reference I. D. A. No. 49/2000. If the learned Presiding Officer of the Labour Court does not feel it necessary to apply for extension of time to dispose of IDA, in that case, in my opinion, the present application can not lie at the instance of respondent No.1. The application is, therefore, dismissed. No order as to costs. JUDGE. Jsa.
