PETITIONER AND 1 The Court of the Authority Under Minimum Wages Act, Ongole. 2 Assistant Labour Officer I, Ongole, Prakasam District. .....RESPONDENTS. Petition under Article 226 of the Constitution of India praying that in the circumstances stated in the Affidavit filed herein the High Court may be pleased to issue an order or direction, particularly a writ in the nature of Writ of Certiorari after calling for records relating to file No.A/6702/92/M.W.Case No.143/92 dt: 3-2-94 of the 1st respondent and quash the same as it is illegal, void and unjust. Counsel for the Petitioner: MR.V.PRABRAMHA SASTRY Counsel for the Respondents: GP FOR LABOUR The Court made the following : ORDER: This writ petition is filed challenging the order of the Authority under Minimum Wages Act, Ongole in M.W.No.143 of 1992 dated 31.03.1994. 2. The Authority under Minimum Wages Act passed an order dated 31.03.1994 allowing the claim for Rs.2,100/- with equal amount as compensation. The said order is assailed in this writ petition. 3. The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the inspection report of the Assistant Labour Officer was not furnished and therefore the entire proceedings before the Authority are illegal and invalid. 4. I am afraid I cannot accept this contention. The enquiry was conducted before the Authority and one witness was examined for the claimants and one witness was also examined for the management. 5. Under those circumstances, it cannot be said that there is any violation of principles of natural justice or any illegality in the proceedings conducted before the Authority under the Minimum Wages Act. Thus, I do not find any ground to interfere with the order impugned. 6. The writ petition is dismissed. No order as to costs. _________________ G.BIKSHAPATHY,J Date: 02nd December 2004.
