CORAM : S. A. BOBDE, J. DATE : 25TH FEBRUARY, 2009 DATE : 25TH FEBRUARY, 2009 DATE : 25TH FEBRUARY, 2009 P.C. P.C. P.C. . Rule, returnable forthwith. Heard by consent. 2. The petitioner has challenged the Order of the Industrial Court directing them to increase the terminal time for the drivers and conductors of Palghar Division. 3. The Order of the Industrial Court suffers from a patent error apparent on its face, in that, the learned Industrial Court has not given any declaration of unfair labour practice and yet :2: directed that the terminal time should be restored to 10 minutes as before. It is not clear from the Order of the Industrial Court if the issue of terminal time is covered by any settlement. In paragraph 7 of the Order the Industrial Court states as follows: "....But only for the said purpose, the workers concerned cannot be deprived of the benefits which have been granted by the parties concerned by arriving at the settlement between the parties regarding the issue of terminal time which is there in the settlement which is not in the settlement." Obviously, the learned Industrial Court ought to have refrained from making such a self contradictory statement and exercised due care and caution. The impugned order is therefore set aside. The matter is remanded back to the Industrial Court for a fresh decision in accordance with law. The Industrial Court is directed to decide the matter as expeditiously as possible. 4. Rule made absolute in the above terms. :3: (S. A. BOBDE, J.) (S. A. BOBDE, J.) (S. A. BOBDE, J.)
