THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE SANJAY KUMAR W.P.No.9954 of 2000 Date: 23.07.2010 Between: Y. Chalapathi Rao … Petitioner AND The Commissioner of Labour, Govt. of Andhra Pradesh, Hyderabad, and 3 others … Respondents THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE SANJAY KUMAR W.P. No.9954 of 2000 ORDER: The cause of complaint in this writ petition is that the Conciliation Officer-cum-Deputy Commissioner of Labour, Warangal, third respondent herein, did not finalize the conciliation proceedings and submit his report apropos the service grievance of the petitioner. It is stated that the third respondent, under proceedings dated 30.12.1997, informed the petitioner that as his grievance was not espoused by the Trade Union or by a considerable number of workmen, so as to be treated as an industrial dispute, it could not be addressed. However, in the light of the letter addressed by the Sirpur Paper Mills Staff Union on 20.01.1998 informing the Deputy Commissioner of Labour, Warangal that the petitioner’s grievance was being espoused by it, this ground is no longer available to the said officer to refuse conciliation in the matter. Dr. P.B. Vijay Kumar, learned counsel for the petitioner stated that the issue has not been settled till date. In that view of the matter, the writ petition is disposed of directing the Deputy Commissioner of Labour, Warangal to act upon the Trade Union’s letter dated 20.01.1998 and undertake conciliation proceedings in respect of the petitioner’s grievance expeditiously. In the circumstances, there shall be no order as to costs. __________________ SANJAY KUMAR, J Date: 23.07.2010 Isn
