JUDGMENT Balakrishnan Nair, J: The petitioner has approached this Court contending inter alia that their members are being obstructed by respondents 5 and 6 and their members, from doing work under the 1st respondent, though the said respondent, who is the employer, is willing to engage them. We directed the learned counsel for the 1st respondent to get instructions on this point. The learned counsel, after getting instructions, submitted that the 1st respondent is not willing to engage the workmen represented by the petitioner. If that be so, the petitioner's remedy to get employment lies else where. Therefore, this writ petition is closed without prejudice to the contentions of the petitioner and its right to approach this Court, if cause of action arises in future. K. BALAKRISHNAN NAIR, JUDGE.
