WP/2069/2010 : 1 : IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CIVIL APPELLATE JURISDICTION WRIT PETITION NO.2069 OF 2010 Vitthal Ganpati Chougule .. Petitioner V/s. Sham Processors & Anr. .. Respondents Mr. Vijay Mane for the Petitioner. Mr. V.P. Vaidya for Respondent No.1. Mr. M.S. Topkar for Respondent No.2. CORAM : SMT. NISHITA MHATRE, J. DATED : 20 TH JULY, 2010. P.C.: 1. The Writ Petition has been filed by one of the complainants in Complaint (ULP) No.425 of 2003. 2. The complaint was initially filed by the Union representing the Petitioner, which has now been impleaded as respondent No.2 in the present Writ Petition. The complaint was filed under Items 1 of Schedule IV of the Maharashtra Recognition of Trade Unions and Prevention of Unfair Labour Practices Act, 1971, (for short “the MRTU & PULP Act”). Interim relief was granted by the Industrial Court, WP/2069/2010 : 2 : Kolhapur, by its order dated 6th January, 2010, passed in the aforesaid Complaint (ULP) No.425 of 2003, directing the Respondent No.1 not to terminate the service of the Petitioner during the pendency of the said complaint. 3. It appears that despite this order, the Respondent No.1 has terminated the service of the Petitioner. The Petitioner has already filed complaint under Item 1 of Schedule IV of the MRTU & PULP Act, being Complaint (ULP) No.13 of 2004, which is pending before the Labour Court, Kolhapur. He has also filed proceedings under Section 48 of the MRTU & PULP Act. 4. In these circumstances, in my opinion, the order dated 6th January, 2010, passed by the Industrial Court, Kolhapur, dismissing the Complaint (ULP) No.425 of 2003 need not be interfered with. WP/2069/2010 : 3 : 5. It is, however, clarified that the Labour Court, Kolhapur, ceased with the Complaint (ULP) No.13 of 2004 filed under Item 1 of Schedule IV of the MRTU & PULP Act and the proceedings under Section 48 of the MRTU & PULP Act will decide the same uninfluenced by any observations of the Industrial Court, Kolhapur, in the present complaint being Complaint (ULP) No.425 of 2003. 6. The Writ Petition is disposed of.
