1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY NAGPUR BENCH : NAGPUR WRIT PETITION NO. 5749 OF 2010 (Mehfil Inn Pvt. Ltd. & Ors. vs. Additional Commissioner of Labour & Anr.) Office Notes, Office Memoranda of Coram, appearances, Court's orders Court's or Judge's orders or directions and Registrar's orders. CORAM : B.P. DHARMADHIKARI, J. DECEMBER 07, 2010. The contentions of Shri Saboo, learned counsel for the petitioners are two fold. First, the absence of relationship of employer and employee recorded by Labour Court will operate as res judicata and in any case, there is no reference to adjudicate the disputed relationship. The perusal of order of order of Labour Court shows that in ULP Complaint, it found that relationship was neither undisputed nor indisputable hence in view of settled law, it refused to exercise jurisdiction. The Industrial Court in revision set aside that order and directed Labour Court to make reference to competent forum for adjudication of that disputed issue. That order of Industrial Court was set aside by this Court by observing that an employee can approach Conciliation machinery for getting the issue resolved. Accordingly, the workman has approached Conciliation Officer and after failure report, reference 2 has been made. It is no doubt true that reference is about validity or otherwise of termination of the employee but then the adjudication of disputed relationship is implicit in it. I, therefore, do not find any jurisdictional error or perversity in the impugned order. Writ Petition is rejected. No order as to costs. JUDGE *GS.
