CORAM : D.D.SINHA & A.P.BHANGALE, JJ DATED : 28th January, 2011. Heard Mr.B.M.Khan, learned counsel for the petitioner; Mr Anand Fulzele, learned Assistant Government Pleader for respondent nos.1 &2 and Mr. M. M. Agnihotri for respondent no.3. The petitioner is seeking a direction to the respondents to take appropriate action against the Contractor/s who have failed to comply with the provisions of the Maharashtra Mathadi, Hamal and other Manual Workers (Regulation of Employment and Welfare) Act, 1969. The learned Assistant Government Pleader has brought to our notice that the Respondent No.4-Board has already initiated action in respect of one of the contractors for committing breach of the provisions of the said Act. The learned AGP further submitted that similar action against the contractors in other petitions shall be initiated, provided it is found that they have committed breach of the provisions of the said Act and 2 appropriate decision, according to law, shall be taken against all such contractors by following the principles of natural justice. We have no reason to disbelieve the categorical statement made by the learned AGP. In view of the statement made by the learned Asst. Government Pleader, Writ Petition is disposed of. If the order of the State Government is adverse to the contractor/s, it is open for them to question the validity thereof before the appropriate forum. JUDGE JUDGE sahare
