1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY NAGPUR BENCH : NAGPUR C.A. 8147 OF 2008 IN WRIT PETITION NO. 1118 OF 2007 (MIDC vs. Anand Laxman Ramteke) Office Notes, Office Memoranda of Coram, appearances, Court's orders Court's or Judge's orders or directions and Registrar's orders. CORAM : B.P. DHARMADHIKARI, J. DECEMBER 11, 2008. Heard Ms. Athalye, learned counsel for the petitioner and Shri Bhoot, learned counsel for the applicant/ respondent. Shri Bhoot, learned counsel states that even today minimum wages as prevailing in March 2007 are being paid to the respondent because of interim orders dated 24.9.2007. He states that the wages need to be revised and minimum wages now prevailing need to be paid to the respondent. Ms. Athalye, learned counsel states that Section 17-B of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947, provides for payment of wages (last drawn). She, therefore, states that there is no question of revising the wages any further. Shri Bhoot, learned counsel further states that there is an alternate prayer to provide work to the respondent. 2 I have heard both the counsel. Section 17-B of the Industrial Disputes Act, requires wages last drawn to be paid and the petitioners are complying with it. In the circumstances, first relief sought for in the civil application by the respondent is misconceived. After some arguments, Shri Bhoot, learned counsel seeks leave to withdraw the other prayer about providing work to the respondent for the present and he seeks leave to approach again in appropriate circumstance. The request is being opposed by the learned counsel for the petitioner. However, in the interest of justice, the other prayer is allowed to be withdrawn as prayed for. Civil Application is disposed of accordingly. JUDGE *GS.
