SIRI JAGAN, J. ------------------------------------ O.P.No.16508 OF 2000 ---------------------------------------- Dated this the 27th day of February, 2008 JUDGMENT The petitioners are the Unions in I.D. No.87/93 on the files of Labour Court, Ernakulam. They are challenging Ext.P1 award passed by the Labour Court in that industrial dispute. When the matter was taken up for hearing today, the learned counsel for the management produced for my perusal a settlement dated 16.1.2002 in which the petitioner Unions were also parties, whereby a conciliation settlement was arrived at in terms of Ext.P1 award. That being so, the original petition need not be considered on merits and the same is disposed of in terms of the settlement dated 16.1.2002, a copy of which supplied by the counsel for the management shall form part of the records. S. SIRI JAGAN, JUDGE Acd
