DESHMUKH AND K.K.TATED,JJ DATED: 4TH NOVEMBER,2009 P.C.:- 1. By consent of the parties, the petition is disposed of in the following terms:- 2 As, admittedly, the petitioners elective term has come to an end in 2003, it is not necessary at this juncture to decide the question whether the petitioner No.1 had resigned in 2001 from his elective post and therefore the order of the Industrial Court on that aspect of the matter need not be examined. 2. So far as the grievance of the petitioner No.1 that the respondent-Union is not treating him even as a primary member is concerned, the learned Senior Counsel appearing on behalf of the Union, after taking instructions, has made statement before us that the Union will continue the petitioners as its primary member subject to the petitioners paying all the legitimate dues that may be payable by a primary member to the Union. The statement made is accepted. So far as the other controversies raised by the petitioners in this petition are concerned, the 3 petitioners shall be at liberty to adopt appropriate remedies that may be available in law in relation to those questions. In case such remedies are adopted, all the contentions available to both sides are kept open. The petition is disposed of. No order as to costs. (D.K. DESHMUKH,J) (K.K.TATED,J)
