Mr. N.M.Ganguli, for Petitioner Mr. S.K.Talsania, Sr.Counsel, a/w. Mr. Mahesh Londhe, i/b. Sanjay Udeshi & Co., for Respondents. CORAM: S. J. KATHAWALLA, J. DATED: 28th JULY, 2009. P.C. 1. This Petition is filed by the Petitioner, impugning the order passed by the 9th Labour Court, Bombay, dismissing the application filed by the Petitioner, seeking his dues from the Respondent No.1 Company, for the period January, 1988 to December, 2003. The said claim is dismissed on the ground that admittedly, Petitioner who was working for the Respondent No.1 Company at its Calicut office since the year 1976 cannot move the Court at Bombay for his wages. In fact an attempt was made by Respondent No.1 to bring back the Petitioner and other srj/- 2 workers to Mumbai, but they moved the Court of the Additional Munsiff s at Kozhikode in case No.682 of 1986 and obtained a perpetual restraint order against Respondent No.1 from transferring them from the Calicut Branch. Admittedly, the Petitioner has also sought orders in respect of his claim upto December, 2007 before the Court at Calicut. 2. The 9th Labour Court has set out the reasons, in paragraph 12 of the impugned order, as to why the Bombay Court has no jurisdiction to entertain the application of the Petitioner for recovery of his alleged dues. No case is made out in the Petition for this Court to interfere, with the impugned order under article 226 of Constitution of India. 3. In view thereof, the Petition stands dismissed. However there will be no order as to costs. (S.J.KATHAWALLA, J.) srj/- 3 srj/-
