Court: Chennai

Decided on: Aug-11-1997

Reported in: (1999)IIILLJ1228Mad

M.S. Liberhan, C.J.1. Learned counsel for the appellant submits that writ petition for issue of mandamus was not maintainable against a private party to implement the provisions of the Employees' State Insurance Act, 1948 (hereinafter referred to as 'the Act'), as well as the settlement arrived at by the parties, which becomes (sic) statutory under the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947 (hereinafter referred to as 'the I.D.
