THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 18/09/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: THOTTATHIL B.RADHAKRISHNAN, J. ------------------------------------------- W.P(C).No.27801 OF 2008 ------------------------------------------- Dated this the 18th day of September, 2008 JUDGMENT Petitioners are employees of the first respondent and have obtained Ext.P2, a settlement, in their favour. If the benefits of that settlement arrived at in 2005 have not been made available, the petitioners have adequate alternate remedy, that too, statutory, in terms of the Industrial Disputes Act. I do not, therefore, think it appropriate for this Court to issue any direction to the first respondent to implement the said settlement. The writ petition is ordered directing that if the petitioners move the appropriate authority under the I.D.Act, such proceedings would be considered expeditiously.
