Respondent AND WRIT PETITION NO.8335 OF 2010 Gopikishan Kesharchand Zawar & Anr. ... Petitioners V/s. Ganesh Babu Shetty ... Respondent Mr.K.J. Phakade for Petitioners Mr.Y.M. Pendse for Respondents CORAM: SMT.NISHITA MHATRE, J. DATED: DECEMBER 6, 2010 P.C.: 1. The petitioners have challenged the awards in the three References in these petitions passed by the IV Labour Court, Thane. Unfortunately, the Labour Court while passing the awards, has not cared to consider the pleadings in each Reference, the documents filed and the evidence led. The Labour Court has WP/8270/2010 a/w others : 2 : presumed that the pleadings in each Reference are the same and the contentions of the parties in each of these References are the same. Had the Labour Court taken pains to consider each Reference separately, the errors which have crept into the awards would not have arisen. 2. Considering the submissions of the learned Counsel for the parties, the awards in Reference (IDA) No.54 of 2008, Reference (IDA) No.53 of 2008 and Reference (IDA) No.52 of 2008 are set aside. The Labour Court shall decide the References separately taking into consideration the pleadings, the documents and the evidence already on record. Only such documents as have been already accepted by the Labour Court will be considered. No additional documents will be considered even if filed by the parties at a later stage just before the impugned awards were passed. 3. The References will be disposed of, after hearing the parties, within two months from today. 4. Writ Petitions are disposed of accordingly.
