The Hon’ble Sri Justice R.Subhash Reddy Writ Petition Nos.26307 & 26382 of 2009 Common Order: Since the issue involved in both these Writ Petitions is common and the petitioner and respondent Nos.1 to 3 being same, they are being disposed of by a Common Order. Heard learned Counsel for the parties. With their consent, the Writ Petitions are taken up for hearing and disposal at the stage of admission. In these Writ Petitions, the petitioner-All India Bata Shop Employees Union seeks declaration by way of Mandamus that the action of respondent Nos.1 to 3 in not considering its representations, dated 19-12-2007, 30-10-2008, 07-11-2008, 21-11-2008 and 23- 03-2009, is illegal, arbitrary and violative of the provisions under the A.P.Shops and Establishments Act, 1988, and the Rules made thereunder. I have perused the series of representations filed by the petitioner. The allegations made in all the representations are general in nature. Except making a bald allegation that Management of the third respondent- Company is practicing unfair labour practices, there is no specific reference to any instance to prove that the Management of the third respondent has violated the provisions of the A.P.Shops and Establishments Act, 1988, and the Rules made thereunder. In that view of the matter, no direction as prayed for can be given in these Writ Petitions. The Writ Petitions are devoid of merits and the same are, accordingly, dismissed. No order as to costs. _________________ R.Subhash Reddy, J Dated 3rd December, 2009 lur
