The contention of the petitioner is that the denial of employment to the workmen is unjust and illegal. Therefore, they have raised an industrial dispute by filing Ext.P1 before respondents 1 and 2. The second respondent has initiated conciliation proceedings for working out a settlement of the dispute between the petitioner and the management of Arun Tourist Home. However, the petitioner complains that the matter is being protracted by indefinite adjournments at the instance of the management. Consequently, the proceedings are still pending, without any prospect of settlement. 2. The Senior Government Pleader Mr.K.C.Santhosh Kumar assures me that the proceedings would be expedited and completed within a short time. 3. In the above circumstances, this Writ Petition is disposed of directing the second respondent to complete the wpc No.6591/2010 2 conciliation proceedings initiated by him for settlement of the disputes between the petitioner and the management of M/s Arun Tourist Home as enjoined by law, as expeditiously as possible and at any rate within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.
