1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CIVIL APPELLATE JURISDICTION WRIT PETITION NO.10159 OF 2009 Riddhi Enterprises ...Petitioners v/s The Metal and Paper Mathadi Board and others ...Respondents Mr D.B. Shroff, Sr Counsel with Mr Rahul Jain i/b M/s RES Legal for Petitioners. Mr R.D. Oak with Mr S.M. Chinchwadkar for Respondents. CORAM : D.K. DESHMUKH AND A.R. JOSHI JJ. DATE : 9TH MARCH 2010. 2 P.C. :- 1] By this petition, the petitioners make grievance against the order dated 10th October 2008. By that order, the petitioners have been directed to pay wages for the workers of Toli No.571 for the period from April 2008 to July 2008. It appears that Toli No.570 was allotted to the petitioners but the workers of that Toli were deregistered and therefore, by order dated 1st January 2908, workers from Toli No.571 were allotted. The petitioners did not give any work to the workers from Toli No.571. The learned counsel appearing for petitioners submitted that the workers from Toli No.570 on 9th January 2008 made an application for cancelling their deregistration. In our opinion, the fact that the workers from Toli No.570 had made request for deregistration is not relevant because once the workers from Toli No.570 were deregistered, the petitioners were duty bound to give work to the workers from Toli No.571. There is no complaint made by the petitioners that workers from Toli No. 3 571 were not reporting for duty when called by the petitioners. That the workers from Toli No.571 were given work of some other company also will not prevent them from working with the petitioners. So far as the order of the Industrial Court which obliges the petitioners to engage workers from Toli No.570 is concerned, that order is of August 2009. We are concerned in this case with the wages of workers from April 2008 to August 2008 and for that period, the order of the Industrial Court is irrelevant. We do not find any substance in this petition. Petition is rejected. Parties to act on the copy of this order duly authenticated by the Sheristedar / Private Secretary of this Court. Certified copy expedited. ( JUSTICE D.K. DESHMUKH ) ( JUSTICE A.R. JOSHI )
